Training Communities on Proper Sanitation and Hygiene
What do we do?
Along with drinking clean water, it is crucial for villagers to change their behaviour to improve their health. Part of our involvement in a village is to teach families how to protect themselves against water borne diseases by practicing proper sanitation and hygiene.
WASH Training
No matter how free from contaminants the household water may be, it will not provide any benefit if it is re-contaminated.
To protect the clean water, and protect families from bacteria and viruses that will make them sick, our teams teach the WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) practices that must be followed to ensure proper sanitation and hygiene.
In order to impart this knowledge, training sessions are held with volunteers in a community so that they, in turn, can help their village members understand the practices that need to be followed.
