This document summarizes a community-led total sanitation (CLTS) project conducted in Kireka C slum. A group of students chose the slum and conducted pre-triggering activities like community mapping. During triggering, they found issues like shared pit latrines and open defecation. This created disgust among community members. The community then decided to make improvements like building pit latrine covers. The students provided demonstrations and teachings. Challenges included lack of community participation. Recommendations call for more university support and government drives to improve sanitation in slums.

2. COMMUNITY- LED
TOTAL
SANITATION FOR
KIREKA C SLUM

3. WHAT IS CLTS?
Way of promoting sanitation by
stimulating a sense of disgust and
shame among the community as they
confront the crude facts about mass
open defecation and its negative
impacts on the entire community.

4. OBJECTIVES OF CLTS
•To ignite a change in sanitation behavior within
the whole community rather than on
individuals.
•To achieve new behaviors such as;
Stopping all open defecation (OD)
Ensuring that all people use a hygienic toilet
Washing hands with soap after using the
toilet or getting in contact with babies’ feaces

5. FIELD WORK METHODOLOGY
1. Pre-triggering. Involves selection of a community
As a group we chose Kireka- C slum. It is located between
the Jinja high-way and the Kampala railway and borders
with Banda-Kasenyi and Kireka market. The slum
characteristics include;
•Unprotected vulnerable and currently polluted water
supplies;
•Visibly filthy conditions;
•Existence of active groups within the community.

6. 2. Triggering
•This was the actual fieldwork
•We introduced ourselves as a learning
team not facilitators
•We walked through the slum with the
chairman and a few locals to identify the
water sources and the pit latrines

7. OUR FINDINGS
• Most households were sharing dirty pit latrines
• No pit latrine had a cover. Besides, the latrine doors were in bad shapes
• People didn’t have hand-wash facilities on their latrines
• Most water sources were dirty with some next to garbage collection points.

8. Triggering contn’
•After mapping the OD places, we asked people from
the community if they could drink a glass of water
contaminated with solid human waste from the open
defecation areas. The community, in response, said
they could not.
•The community later found out that the water they
drink is actually contaminated after our discussion.
•This created disgust and shame among them.

9. WHAT WERE THEIR REACTIONS?
The community decided to;
1.Create wooden covers for their pit latrines.
2.Wash hands with soap form their latrines
3.Keep latrines clean.
4.Build more pit latrines to minimize sharing

10. FURTHER STEPS DURING CLTS
3. Post triggering
Visiting the triggered community to
monitor progress. It is done after 3
weeks to 3 months. In this period and
ODF status can be achieved.
4. Scaling up and going beyond CLTS

11. THE DOS AND DON’TS IN CLTS
The Dos The Don’ts
Involve children as active agents for change Don’t sacrifice quality for speed
Facilitate a good analysis that ignites a sense of
disgust
Promote particular latrine designs
Let people innovate simple latrines Be in charge and push for or demand action
Make the CLTS movement self spreading Avoid defecation areas but rather spend as much time
there
Mount campaigns e.g THE TWEYONGYE CAMPAIGN Tell people what is good and bad

12. OUR OTHER ACTIVITES
1. A demonstration on how to make a simple tippy tap.
2. Teaching on the advantages of having a lined/sealed pit latrine
3. Taught them on safe emptying of filled pit-latrines

13. CHALLENGES
1. People were afraid of camera thinking
we were spies from government.
2. We didn’t get a big turn up since
people wanted to be paid. The people
live badly and don’t get helped
participating in free things.

14. RECOMMENDATIONS
•Students should always be assisted in
such community outreaches by the
University through providing
identification letters and finance
•Government should conduct more of
CLTS drives in slum settlements

15. CONCLUSION
The people in Kireka C slum are living in a non-
hygienic settlement. This is mainly due to high
levels of poverty and lack of sensitization.
CLTS should be intensified and the leaders
motivated to carry it on. Otherwise, there could an
outbreak of deadly diseases like cholera which
could claim many lives.
