WASH sustainability check results (by Marieke Adank and Ryan Schweitzer) sharing the findings of sustainability checks undertaken in Ethiopia in 2015 including the work of Aguaconsult for USAID with a rural focus and by IRC to support the DFID/ UNICEF ONEWASH Plus Programme in small towns.
Presented during the The 7th Annual WASH Ethiopia Multi-Stakeholder Forum (MSF) held from 16-17 December 2015.
Children spend a lot of time in school. We can help ensure
that while they’re there, they can safely drink water,
wash their hands, and have comfortable, clean sanitation
facilities. Children who learn good habits at school take
the knowledge home, so our investments have an impact
on the broader community. Learn how your club can get
involved in WASH-in-Schools initiatives by working
with schools, governments, NGOs, and partner clubs, and
hear suggestions for improving community engagement.

Over the past decade, the child-friendly schools (CFS) model has emerged as UNICEF’s signature means to advocate for and promote quality education for every girl and boy. Child-friendly schools enable all children to achieve their full potential. As a part of a Global Capacity Development Programme on CFS, UNICEF has developed the Child Friendly Schools Manual, a reference document and practical guidebook to help countries implement CFS models appropriate to their specific circumstances.

School water, sanitation & hygiene (wash) clubs; indicators of an active club...Dr. Joshua Zake
This presentation was made and delivered during an engagement with school leadership of 5 selected Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) schools in Kampala - with an objective of strengthening School Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Clubs based on their role and contributions for advancing inclusive and sustainable WASH in schools. This is part of an initiative by Environmental Alert in collaboration with KCCA and Water Aid Uganda through the framework of the Sustainable WASH project. WASH project.
The desire to address the critical need for water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in schools is gaining momentum worldwide. The lack of clean drinking water, toilet facilities for girls and boys and good hygiene practices in schools has a negative impact on the health and cognitive abilities of the entire school population, leads to absenteeism and affects girls especially hard.
This webinar highlights HIP's experience fostering a supportive environment and models for WASH-Friendly Schools in Madagascar and Ethiopia and materials developed to help schools become WASH-friendly.

The issue of supplying adequate water to meet societal needs is one of the most urgent and significant challenges faced by decision-makers.
Rainwater harvesting is an excellent means of supplementing water for both potable and non-potable purposes.
Rainwater harvesting describes processes in which precipitation that falls on a site is diverted, captured, and stored for use on-site, as opposed to allowing it to run off, evaporate, or infiltrate into the soil.
WASH in Schools Target Challenge in India OverviewRamesh Aggarwal
Presentation made by PDG Ramesh Aggarwal, Member Secretary, Rotary India WinS Committee at Rotary - UNICEF High level advocacy workshop on Oct 1, 2016 in New Delhi
Sanitation is the hygienic means of preventing human contact with the multiple hazards associated with waste in order to promote health.
Some of the hazards include physical, microbiological, biological and chemical.
The most common hazards that pose health problems originate from human and animal faeces, solid waste, domestic wastewater, and industrial and agricultural waste.
To prevent the health threat posed by these wastes, engineering solutions such as sewerage and wastewater treatment and simple technologies like latrines, septic tanks or even hand washing with soap rank high.

Need for Pregnancy, Sanitation and Child Care Oriented Education for WomenAnurag Agarwal
Through the statistics, we came to know about the deteriorating health and the lack of knowledge among the Indian women, which has led to the deterioration in the health of the young India. The lack of knowledge regarding sanitation, pregnancy and child care is a root cause of many problems. So, we have proposed an idea for some steps to be taken in this direction.

10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. Access for the most Vulnerable
• Ramps and improved
access at water points.
• Tools that aid in water
collection.
• Disability-adapted
sanitation facilities.
19. 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.
20. 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)
21. WASH in Schools
• Planning
• Selecting partners
• Appropriate
technologies
• Monitoring and
evaluation
22. 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
23. 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
24. 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?
25. 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 committee
oSchool management committee
oLocal gov’t; community
oBoard of education
26. WASH in Schools - Planning
• Teachers
oIs 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
27. 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.
28. 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
29. WASH in Schools - Planning
• Government standards re ratios
o Urinals: Boys and girls
• Menstrual Hygiene Management: MHM
o Considerations – what age are the students?
• Local customs and practices
o Wipers v. washers
o Concept of “success” i.e. are flush toilets the only
acceptable option? How can we change that perception?
30. 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.
31. Girls’ Urinal
Days for Girls
Provides information
on education and re-
usable kits that can
last as much as 3
years
31
Low-cost sanitation options
32. 32
• Urinals – integrated approach – liquid used as
fertilizer; plants located immediately behind urinals
with pipes taking liquid into ground;
• Fruit trees grew much faster;
Low-cost sanitation options
33. 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.
34. 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
35. WASH in Schools – Choosing partners
Why would an NGO partner with a Rotary
Club?
• Local knowledge
• Source of funds
• Possible source of volunteers
• Can build deep relationship with beneficiaries
• Long-term project support
36. WASH in Schools – Appropriate Technologies
