Summary

With support from the Cambodia WASH Coalition, a School Community (S-C) WASH programme was implemented at two target schools in Takeo Province on 16 July 2008. The programme has shown many improvements in sanitation and hygiene in the schools and communities. Awareness and knowledge of proper hand washing with soap, building and using a latrine at home, drinking safe water, and safe storage of drinking water has significantly increased. In addition, children have passed on what they’ve learned in the school about sanitation and hygiene on to their families.

About the author

Initiated in 2008, the Cambodia WASH Coalition targets schools and communities with messages about positive behaviour change – water conservation, washing hands with soap, and using low-cost latrines (e.g. CLTS programmes). With broad support from the government, international organizations, and others, the coalition’s school-community project has expanded across six provinces. This project provides schools and government departments with training sessions and materials about positive WASH behaviours, and has established self-monitoring systems on sanitation for communities and schools.
