Integrating behaviour change through sustainable School WASH programs

Date: 1st -12th October 2012 (2 Weeks)

Venue: Nairobi, Kenya

About the Course

Safe water and clean toilets are not optional in schools. Yet majority of schools in the   world that open their doors every day have no source of safe water for students and no clean latrines. Lack of access to safe water often leads to children to suffer from chronic diarrhea and host intestinal parasites that stunt their growth. None of these conditions make learning pleasurable or easy. In the long term, educational achievement is one of the most important determinants of health, life expectancy, economic productivity, and the wellbeing of future generations.
School sanitation and hygiene course offers the participants an opportunity to a practical approach in addressing the WASH issues in schools.

Objectives

  • Enhance awareness on how to create more effective WASH programs.
  • It will focus on creating conducive learning environment as well as planning and implementing improvements in Schools WASH.
