Tippy Tap WASH
Handwashing & Tippy Tap Construction

Handwashing has a great impact on our health and it should be done by everyone. Handwashing training involves a demonstrating the handwashing procedure and training on the critical times to wash hands. A handwashing station with clean water and soap is used during the demo. Construction demonstrations are included in our WASH training with schools and communities. Tippy taps are also a low cost and effective way to set up handwashing facilities at home.

Understanding of Safe Water Chain Between Collection and Consumption

Drinking water may come out of a source or system in a pure state but if it is not handled and stored well in the home and when being collected it can easily become contaminated and the cause of sickness and diarrhoea. Water contamination can be prevented at each point in the water chain. Water source: water source should be protected from animals and the area around the source kept clean. Water collection: hands should not touch the water. Water transport: use clean containers to transport the water. Water storage: water should be stored in a clean container and kept covered, and a clean device such as a cup should be used to access the water.

Training and Awareness of Disease

Water and environment play an essential role in the transmission of many communicable diseases and epidemics. Many diseases spread from person to person or fecal oral route contact, including when food or drinks are contaminated by flies. During training on this topic, an F diagram is used to help the participants discover and analyze how diarrheal diseases can be spread through human hygiene practices and the environment. Participants are taken through a number of ways of preventing disease transmission routes during training. Some of the ways to prevent disease transmission includes proper water treatment, proper use of latrines, always covering latrines, keeping food covered, serving food while hot, and proper handwashing.

Environmental and Domestic Hygiene

The management of waste is given very low priority in most villages in low income countries. Environmental hygiene involves creating awareness of the importance of proper disposal of waste and establishing good environmental hygiene behavior. One effective example of this is the use of a general waste pit for general waste and a compost pit for green waste. Domestic hygiene involves homestead cleanliness, which includes sweeping and keeping the houses clean.

Food Hygiene

This refers to the management of food and the way it is handled, cooked and served as well as the way it is consumed and stored. There are multiple points in this process where illness can be introduced, so education is vital to promoting wellbeing and preventing various types of sickness.

Personal Hygiene

We teach the importance of personal hygiene and what personal hygiene entails. This includes tooth brushing, body washing, face washing, hand washing, wearing clean clothes and sleeping on clean bedding. Oral hygiene is essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums, which can impact other aspects of general wellbeing. When students are informed of these practices and have tools to maintain personal hygiene, they can feel more confident and have a higher quality of life.

Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM)

Menstrual Hygiene Management work is conducted in schools. We use the trainer approach to deliver menstrual health education and hygiene training in schools and expanding into the wider community, to girls, boys and their families. This raises awareness and breaks down taboos and discrimination against menstruating girls. Menstrual Hygiene Management enables girls to manage their menstrual cycle with dignity, which helps keep them in school with confidence, furthering their education and improving their life outlook.
