NOTES:
Because WASH can be very broad, we have provided options for searching for concepts related to WASH.
Safe Drinking Water = access to and preparation of safe drinking water
Hygiene = hand disinfection, soap, hygiene practices
Sanitation = toilets, waste, and wastewater
Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene = all three concepts combined for a broad and comprehensive search
