Americas

The IFRC Americas Region Office coordinates WASH programming across 35 countries spanning North America, the Caribbean, Central and South America. This region faces diverse challenges, from hurricane-prone islands requiring rapid emergency WASH response to isolated Amazonian and Andean communities needing sustainable long-term solutions.

Climate variability, increasing urbanization, and socioeconomic inequalities continue to challenge progress. Our approach combines traditional knowledge with modern approaches, particularly focusing on indigenous communities, people on the move and informal urban settlements.
