Access to clean water is a fundamental human right, yet individuals with disabilities often face significant barriers in accessing this vital resource. This project aimed to install accessible hand pumps tailored for persons with disabilities in underserved communities, enhancing their quality of life and promoting inclusivity in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices.
