Post Graduate Diploma in Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH)
Build Expertise. Transform Communities. Advance Global Health.
The Post Graduate Diploma in Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) is a professionally designed program that equips learners with the knowledge, skills, and practical tools needed to address critical water, sanitation, and public health challenges in both developing and emergency settings.

Water, sanitation, and hygiene are at the heart of human health, dignity, and sustainable development. Poor access to safe drinking water, sanitation facilities, and hygiene services remains a leading cause of preventable disease and inequality worldwide. In response to these challenges, global development frameworks such as  Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have prioritized universal access to WASH services.

However, progress in WASH program implementation is often slowed by a shortage of well-trained professionals and limited opportunities for continuous professional development. This diploma program directly addresses that gap by preparing current and aspiring WASH practitioners to design, manage, and implement effective, community-centered WASH interventions.
