Summary

The Coalition supported the implementation of a School Children (S-C) WASH programme at several schools. Teachers were made responsible for telling children about sanitation, hygiene, and hand washing, with two hours a week dedicated to these topics. Challenges included the lack of interest shown by some teachers; the lack of latrines in some schools; and the impossibility of using some latrines in the rainy season. Some pupils and community members have not yet accepted the need for behaviour change.

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.
