What we do
For the sake of bringing sustainable development, WESHDA provides demand driven and bottom-up services, instead of supply-driven and top-down services, ensuring community participation in every step from planning, through decision-making to implementation and monitoring and follow-up as well as cost sharing by community people. WESHDA has succeeded in creating a sense of ownership of the development activities among the community. WESHDA is working to develop socioeconomic condition of its working communities, especially with the women, children, marginalized and most vulnerable peoples.

Project Brief
The environmental consequences of climate change such as sea-level rise, increasing temperatures, more extreme weather events, increased droughts, flooding and wildfires are impacting human health and lives. Previous studies and reviews have documented the multiple health impacts of climate change, including an increase in infectious diseases, respiratory disorders, heat-related morbidity and mortality, under-nutrition due to food insecunty, and adverse health outcomes ensuing from increased sociopolitical tension and conflicts. Indeed, the most recent Lancet Countdown report, which investigates 43 indicators of the relationship between climate change and human health, arrived at their most worrisome findings since the beginning of their on-going annual work. This report underlines that the health impacts of climate change continue to worsen and are being felt on every continent, although they are having a disproportionate and unequal impact on populations. Authors caution that these health impacts will continue to worsen unless we see an immediate international response to limiting climate change.
