WASH in Schools
![Page 10: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Global Water Crisis
• Every day, nearly 1,000 children under 5 die from diarrhea caused by contaminated water, poor sanitation, and improper hygiene.
• Worldwide, 663 million people lack access to clean water.
• More than 80 percent of people without water access live in rural areas.
![Page 11: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Women and Girls
• The global water crisis has a greater impact on women and girls who typically fetch and manage water in the home.
• Providing clean water and improved sanitation and hygiene transforms lives, particularly of women and girls.
![Page 12: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
World Vision’s Commitment to WASH
• Invested $400 million from 2010-2015 to address the global water crisis and reach 7.5 million people.
• World Vision is the largest nongovernmental provider of clean water in the developing world —reaching one new person with clean water every 30 seconds.
![Page 13: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why Wash in Schools
• Lives are transformed by providing WASH, education, health including deworming, and nutrition in schools.
• Children are change agents for entire communities.• CDC study in Kenya showed
2.5x increase in use of household water treatment in homes based on school program and 26% reduction in absenteeism that was sustained a year later.
![Page 14: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Poverty is Complex
• Work in communities to help them address not only WASH but variety of challenges.
• Schools are a focal point not only for WASH but education, health, and improved nutrition.
• Comprehensive approach enables communities to lift themselves out of poverty.
![Page 15: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Best practices - Water
Provide access to water through right-sized hardware equipment based on water source and provide water access close to schools and clinics. For example:
•Heavy-duty rigs used for drilling deep wells.
•Mechanized wells with solar pumps used for high-yield
•
![Page 16: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Best practices - Sanitation and Hygiene
Combine clean water with sanitation and hygiene interventions such as helping bring about behavior changes for the greatest impact.
•Handwashing and hygiene promotion in schools.•Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) leading to Open Defecation Free (ODF) certification.
• Provision of latrines in
schools and clinics.
![Page 17: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Feminine Hygiene
Girls in rural sub-Saharan Africa miss an average 5 days a month of school during menstruation and do not understand why they are menstruating.•Separate latrines needed for girls.•Private space to wash with soap and dry cloths are needed to prevent infections.•Penetration of commercially available sanitary pads is significant (20%) in rural areas of East African countries but affordability an issue.•Disposal issues for sanitary pads may require incineration.
![Page 18: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Access for the most Vulnerable
• Ramps and improved access at water points.
• Tools that aid in water collection.
• Disability-adapted sanitation facilities.
![Page 19: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Sustainable Solutions
Use a model that stresses community ownership.
Important components include:• Water committees to maintain water points
and collect user fees.• Local mechanics
trained to repair water pumps.
• Supply chain for parts.• Enabling local
government to support when we leave.
![Page 20: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Why WASH in Schools?
‘Children have indeed proved to be effective change agents for hygienic practices, such as washing of hands, using latrines and maintaining hygienic environments generally. Moreover, children who adopt good hygiene practices at a young age not only work as peer advocates but are also likely to grow-up to be health conscious adults, while transferring the knowledge, skills and practices to the rest of their families.’(CASSAD, 2005; UNICEF, 2007)
![Page 21: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
WASH in Schools
• Planning• Selecting partners• Appropriate
technologies• Monitoring and
evaluation
![Page 22: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
WASH in Schools - Planning
What will “success” look like?When we have been successful with a WASH in Schools program not only have facilities been upgraded, but practices have changed and knowledge is embedded about: •properly use, maintenance, and repair of systems•New practices - for example handwashing, use of toilets, MHM… have been adopted consistently, correctly, and continuously •No one has been left behind
![Page 23: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
WASH in Schools - Planning
Planning for “success”: Providing hardware is the easy part;
What is much more difficult, takes more planning, and longer term support is addressing the software – behavior change - needs
![Page 24: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
WASH in Schools - Planning
• Proper assessment and thorough understanding of needs
• Plan for hardware and software needs…– Hardware – technical issues– Software – hygiene education, Menstrual Hygiene
Management (MHM), behaviour change – how to change Knowledge Attitudes and Practices required for a succesful program
– Why aren’t children attending school? Is it more than WASH issues?
![Page 25: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
WASH in Schools - Planning
• School selection – importance of long term sustainability
• Fully understand the needs and assess whether this school is a good candidate to invest in:– People/committees – to support long term
behavior change:oParent/teacher committeeoSchool management committeeoLocal gov’t; communityoBoard of education
![Page 26: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
WASH in Schools - Planning
• TeachersoIs there a lot of turn over (quite
common)? If yes, how to ensure knowledge is retained at the school.
oBenefits of school/community clubs? (good for supporting behaviour change)
oLevel of awareness and interest – what capacity building will be needed?
oRole for Rotary?• Security situation – impact on siting &
selection
![Page 27: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
WASH in Schools - Planning Criteria For Sanitation:•A water point within the school premises or in the community.•Democratically elected, gender balanced and functioning/active parents-teachers association (PTA) and school based management committee (SBMC).•Willingness to contribute financially for the maintenance.•Agreement by at least three teachers to take on responsibilities for planning, monitoring, construction and maintenance activities as well as for hygiene education in the school.•Willingness of school, community and pupils to be part of implementation and maintenance of the facilities.•- excerpted from a Technical Guide for Construction of School Sanitation Facilities developed by UNICEF in Nigeria.
![Page 28: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
WASH in Schools - Planning
“While all schools may be sensitized, the selection process should not only identify schools that have applied for participation in the project, but also schools that have demonstrated convincing ability to participate in the planning, construction and management of the facilities as well as in the education of the pupils in the proper use of the facilities.
Such schools should stand better chance of being selected for participation in the project.”
…Because they will adopt and support behavior change more readily
![Page 29: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
WASH in Schools - Planning
• Government standards re ratioso Urinals: Boys and girls
• Menstrual Hygiene Management: MHMo Considerations – what age are the students?
• Local customs and practiceso Wipers v. washerso Concept of “success” i.e. are flush toilets the
only acceptable option? How can we change that perception?
![Page 30: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Planning tips and Resources
• WHO Guidelines on ratios of students and teachers to toilets
• Consider country guidelines.• Remember the use of urinals for
both boys and girls.• A great example can be found in the
Nigeria Technical Guide, page 27.
![Page 31: 2015 WASH e-Summit (Part 1): An Introduction to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58831f041a28abe2758b4cc5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

WASH in Schools - Planning
Operation & Maintenance• What resources are available to provide
technical support?• How will repairs and maintenance be
funded?• How to embed knowledge?• Role of students, teachers, parents etc.• How can the knowledge and habits
developed at the school be duplicated in the community?
• Unique role Rotary Clubs can play.

WASH in Schools – Choosing Partners
Why should a Rotary Club partner with an NGO?
• Knowledge of subject area (WASH) and tools for training (behavior change etc.) various stakeholders,
• Expertise in implementation; e.g. at WWS7 Literacy Rotarian Action Group (LitRag) breakout was focused on ways teachers could weave hygiene education into many other subject areas – writing, art etc. – expanding impact
• Available full time• May have other sources of funds
