Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain a significant challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa, with an estimated 4.8 million cases and 500,000 deaths in 2022 alone. These infections not only cause severe health impacts but also result in economic losses of $13 billion annually. Investing in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services in healthcare facilities could reduce HAIs by 50%, providing significant health and economic benefits.

Khaldye, a Syrian refugee in Lebanon, has become the sole provider for her family, turning her passion for cooking into a successful business. Forced to flee her home in 2013, Khaldye faced numerous challenges, from navigating life in a camp to supporting her family after her husband’s injury. Through Relief International's "Livelihoods and Resilience Support" program, Khaldye received life skills, vocational training, and career counseling. This program helped her gain the confidence and skills needed to transform her love for cooking into a sustainable source of income. Khaldye's journey, from gaining hands-on experience in food safety at a local hotel to starting her own food business, is inspiring.
