Our behavioural-change program focuses on transforming the community’s mindset on sanitation and hygiene through training. By working together with local governments and different communities, we can make sure everybody has sustainable access to water and sanitation. In Africa, we run programmes in Uganda.
Our approach involves partnering with local leaders, grass-root leadership and district local governments in the rural areas of Uganda to ensure that all households have access to safe water, proper sanitation and hygiene facilities. We equip and train homes with acceptable sanitation practices to eradicate preventable diseases that plague communities and lead to poverty. Our implementation targets areas with the greatest need.
There is no outsider that can best understand the community dynamics more than the locals themselves. That is why triggering communities in WASH, has provided such a magic injection to prompt beneficiaries to discover some of the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene issues at hand and the possible local solutions to challenges. Our behavioural-change program focuses on transforming the community’s mindset on sanitation and hygiene through training. Understanding how open defecation and poor sanitation practices causes diseases leads communities to end the practice, brings change and improves health. After realising the importance of better sanitation practices, communities are forever transformed.
