Description

O Programa de Melhorias Sanitárias Domiciliares (MSD) atende pequenas comunidades rurais e urbanas (localidades de pequeno porte) ou Comunidades Tradicionais (remanescentes de quilombo)  visando atender às necessidades básicas de saneamento das famílias, por meio de instalações hidrossanitárias mínimas, relacionadas ao uso da água, à higiene e ao destino adequado dos esgotos domiciliares.

O programa tem os seguintes objetivos: 
i) Implantar soluções individuais e coletivas de pequeno porte, com tecnologias apropriadas; 
ii) Contribuir para a redução dos índices de morbimortalidade, provocados pela falta ou inadequação das condições de saneamento domiciliar e 
iii) Dotar os domicílios de melhorias sanitárias, necessárias à proteção das famílias e à promoção de hábitos higiênicos.
