WASH

WASH is an acronym for “Water,” “Sanitation” and Hygiene.” The WASH concept is used in the international development field to refer to initiatives aimed at equitable and accessible water and sanitation for all, particularly girls and women.

WHY WASH In Schools?

(1) 40% of diarrhoea cases in children originate from transmission in schools rather than at home.

(2) 443 million school days are lost annually due to water-related diseases.

(3) Diarrhoea is the second biggest killer of children under five years old worldwide

(4) An estimated 1/3 of school-aged children are contaminated with intestinal worms. Hence tend to miss school regularly.

Kinda Education Support is focusing on measures of prevention to improve health and sanitation and reduce the spread of diseases. To be added we aim to empower children and the whole community to address this issue.

IMPLEMENTATION

Integrated life-skills based education that focuses on key hygiene & health behaviours using participatory teaching techniques

(1) Construction of rain harvesting water tanks

(2) Provision of water filters to provide safe & clean water for drinking

(3) Provision of hand-washing stations with soap

(4) Construction of improved pit latrines facilities

(5) Outreach to children’s parents through community meetings

(6) Conducting of WASH workshops

By using the available resources and WASH education we bring positive changes and long-term results to schools and beneficiaries in Tanzania.

OUR GOAL

Escalating our WASH project to more schools by equipping the pupils, teachers, health officers and communities with the right training for behavioural change and improved facilities.
