What the villagers say
"Before we had the borehole, children used to have diarrhoea and would be home from school once or twice a month. Now it is rare. There is less illness so there are fewer clinic visits. Now we have tippy-taps we can wash our hands more"Promoting Good Hygiene
Part of Water for Kids' goals is to reduce the spread of water-borne disease by promoting the use of hygienic practices. We do this by training volunteers to become Hygiene Promoters. They will then work to sensitise and mobilise each household to use safe water and to build latrines, refuse pits and dish racks.
