This is a summary on Water and Sanitation Hygiene (WASH) program, carried in Bangladesh by BRAC to help achieve MDG 7: ensure environmental sustainability
Lack of access to safe water is the world's largest cause of illness. In Tanzania, only 4% of the population has water piped to their homes, so most must collect water from unsafe, open sources like rivers and lakes. This task usually falls to women and children, which can prevent school or work. Open water sources are contaminated by animal and human waste, putting people at risk of waterborne diseases like malaria. Protected sources like boreholes and rainwater tanks are safer alternatives. A UNICEF project improved access for 65,000 Tanzanians by installing safe water sources and hygiene facilities in schools and health centers.
Oscar Patterson Elementary School in Panama City, Florida is kicking off an initiative called the Walking School Bus on International Walk to School Day to encourage parents and children to walk to school together for health and exercise. Only about a third of children who live within a mile of school walk or bike currently. The Walking School Bus program involves families taking turns walking children to school together or volunteers leading planned routes. Safety training is important since young children lack skills to walk safely on their own. The initiative is a collaboration between the Florida Department of Health, Bay County School District, and Bay County Health Department.
Study of Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) on Hygiene, Sanitation and Wa...Oswar Mungkasa
The study aimed to assess people's knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding hygiene, sanitation, and water use in Sukabumi District. It found that handwashing with soap and latrine use were not common. People's understanding of safe water was based only on appearance. Solid waste disposal and liquid waste management practices needed improvement. Effective health messages faced challenges like lack of media coverage and community priorities being economic over health-related. Factors like government program coordination and corporate social responsibility were also issues.
The document discusses two social startup project ideas - Project Sano and Project Bonheur.
Project Sano aims to produce affordable, eco-friendly menstrual pads made of breathable cotton fabric by rural women to increase access and comfort, while addressing safety concerns with commercially available pads.
Project Bonheur proposes a food junction serving healthy fast food and simple meals employing drug addicts and hearing/speech impaired individuals. This would address demand for healthy fast food options while helping rehabilitation and empowerment.
This document outlines the work of several non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including WaterAid, working on water, sanitation, and hygiene issues around the world. It discusses WaterAid's programs in Australia, Cambodia, and elsewhere that aim to promote gender equality and access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene for all people, including marginalized groups. Specific programs highlighted include Water for Women, Sustainable Water Sanitation and Hygiene, and Sports for Development. Brief updates are provided on recent water projects completed in partnership with communities in Cambodia and Australia.
This lab report summarizes 3 experiments:
1) Production of yogurt by fermenting milk with starter cultures. Less yogurt was produced using diluted milk compared to concentrated milk.
2) Attempting to culture bacteria using streak plating technique. Single colonies were not achieved due to inexperience with the technique.
3) Measuring maltose production from starch hydrolysis using amyalse enzyme. A standard curve was used to determine 1.67mM or 601.701mg of maltose was produced. Care is needed due to small test values.
This document summarizes key concepts about sampling distributions, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. It discusses how the sampling distribution of the sample mean approaches a normal distribution as the sample size increases based on the Central Limit Theorem. It also outlines how to calculate confidence intervals for a population mean or proportion when the population standard deviation is known or unknown. The document concludes by defining the power of a statistical test and describing the p-value approach for hypothesis testing.

Study on Knowledge& Practice of WASH among Under 5 Children's Mother in Rural...AI Publications
Water, sanitation and hygiene is still a burning issue in the context of developing countries like Bangladesh as many diseases related to it and causing significant child’s death. The study helps to assess the knowledge & practice of mothers having under 5 children in Sylhet district of Bangladesh.A cross sectional observational study was undertaken in 10 villages of Sylhet Sadar, Golapganj and Kanaighat Upazila of Sylhet district in Bangladesh during September to December’2019. Total 100 mothers and their 100 under 5 children was taken for conducting the study. Purposive random sampling procedure with pretested semi structured questionnaire following interview technique was used to collect information. Collected data was coded, entered and analyzed in SPSS 20 for univariate and multivariate analysis. Out of 100 mothers, majority of participants (71%) had appropriate knowledge on water, sanitation & hygiene and one third (29%) had poor knowledge. Regarding practice, about two third (67%) participants did good practice and one third (33%) did poor practice. Almost 97% of the respondents used tube well as a source of drinking water and 68% used sanitary latrine for defecation. Concerning hand washing almost 100% respondent washed hand with soap & water after defecation of child & own self and any family business but 37% before preparing meal and 44% before feeding. Regarding homestead hygiene environment 72% was kept poultry in residence & only 28% in separate place. And concerning homestead waste management 50% & 39% respondents throw liquid & solid waste haphazardly in their homestead respectively. However 100% participants had positive attitude about water, sanitation and hygiene and believed every household should have good WASH facilities. The educational level & mother age found significant relationship with knowledge of WASH among mother having under 5 children at p<0.05 level. However, the educational level & household income also found significant relationship with practice of WASH among mothers having under 5 children at p<0.05 level. Present study shows that knowledge level of safe water, sanitation & hygiene among mothers affected by their educational & age level but practice level affected by their education & household income. So its need to spread information about the importance of proper practice of water, sanitation & hygiene in rural areas through available evidences based BCC strategies and multiple dissemination channels through IEC (information education & communication) activities towards awareness and practice of WASH among mothers having under 5 children.

Help Davao: SurfAid International early results from CLTS in Nias, Indonesia Declan Hearne
This review is focused on ‘water and health’ and seeks to share lessons learnt from the Western Sumatra Islands, Indonesia where communities are leading the eradication of open defecation through an approach known as Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS). With the apparent increasing frequency and intensity of hydro-hazards, hydrological ex-tremes and water-related disasters being witness in the Philippines the presentation will demonstrate that these approaches enable communities to increase resilience and to bet-ter self manage sanitation in the event of natural disasters. The paper will also expand upon how SurfAid International is piloting this approach in the early recovery processes in the aftermath of the M7.6 September 30th West Sumatra Earthquake. The paper will out-line the links between CLTS and how it can positively impact on conflict mitigation and community participation in the management of water resources. The paper is geared at the development practitioners who aim is to improve human lives. It is line with MGD 7. The paper is also useful to other land and water managers as the prescribed process of CLTS is focused on the reduction of bacterial contaminate from diffused point sources through the reduction of open defecation. Lessons from the paper also can also be employed by hazard managers to help better prepare communities to be able to self manage sanitation in emergency responses.

Knowledge, Aptitude, Behaviour and Practices among school children in India NitishKapoorRb
In the Knowledge, Attitude, Behaviour and Practices (KABP) study on hygiene among children in schools, school heads, teachers and students were interviewed in six states across majority public schools and few private schools.
This paper is based on the findings from the baseline study.
There was a state wise variation in socio-demographic profile of children and their families across the six states i.e. Bihar, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. In Rajasthan, 45% of the schools visited were private schools; the differences in practices were apparent.
Parents in Maharashtra were reported to be most educated. Higher education level among parents of Maharashtra seems to translate into better perception among children about portable drinking water. Television was widely available in homes and its use was widespread across all the states. Mobile phone use
was also trickling down to the younger population, but the access to internet was sparse and limited. At the same time it was found that presence of television at home has little to do with the knowledge and practice of hygiene.

This document discusses water sanitation and hygiene (WASH). It notes that approximately 2.4 billion people lack access to sanitation facilities and 663 million lack access to clean water. Poor WASH leads to health issues like diarrhea and diseases. Previous attempts to address this issue included education campaigns, infrastructure development like building toilets, and providing clean water sources. However, more work still needs to be done to improve WASH access for many people in developing countries.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
2. In accordance with the UN created Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), BRAC has
created a program called Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) to achieve goal number 7.
Goal number seven is about ensuring environmental sustainability. It is one of the 9 major
programs BRAC has initiated to fulfil the MDGs.
On the 10th of March 2012 we, a group of 18 students, two teachers and two drivers,
went to Manikgonj district to check out the WASH program being run there by BRAC. We
initially went to WASH headquarters where we meet with Ms. Nurun Nahar, who is the
district manager and Ms. Nasima, who is WASH program’s director. Both of them told us how
in May 2006 the first survey of BRAC’s WASH initiative was done. It was then found that only
37% of the total population there have any access to proper sanitation or drinking water. Thus
in 2007 WASH program was implemented. This program consists of two major parts, (i)
raising awareness through education and (ii) initiating the establishment and proper running
of sanitation system.
BRAC trains women in the villages to make them capable of teaching others, in target
groups a.k.a. clusters, how to be clean, how to keep your neighbourhood clean, how
prevention is better than cure. There are five such clusters, one for the males, one for the
females, one for the children, adolescent girls and one for the old people. Awareness sessions
are given monthly on water, sanitation and hygiene, and to check upon their progress. People
in these sessions are made aware that small acts of cleanliness will ensure the reduction of
infections and minor diseases that cause a lot of hindrance for the village people. Money and
time spent on treating these illnesses before can now be used for more fruitful things such as
business, food, child care, education, saving etc. This will not only make people healthy and
happy but also prosperous.
Water supply is being tested for safe and clean drinking water. Special importance is
given to finding arsenic and saline prone water areas and making people aware not to drink it.
Manikgonj has a major case of unsafe water. This dilemma is being fought by setting up deep
tube hand pumps, that tap into Bangladesh’s supply of fresh ground water. WASH committee,
consisting of 6 women and 5 men plus a secretary and president, sits together and decides
exactly where latrines are necessary and sets about raising funds, usually 5000tk from 9

3. families, to set up a latrine. WASH has also set up latrines in schools for adolescent girls
making it easier for them to attend school. This has increased the percentage of girls coming
to school and passing out. And filled up latrines are covered up and allowed to decompose and
form fertilizers which eventually help the villagers as most of them are farmers.
Thanks to this visit, I actually got to know that such trivial problems, such as common
fever, diarrhoea exist due to the lack of information; in this modern era are still major
problems for a huge population. And because of BRAC’s initiative WASH we will soon be able
to eradicate such water and sanitation related problems. As in 5 years already the percentage
of rural people with access to proper sanitation facilities has increased from 37% to 86%!
BRAC has practically applied Amartya Sen’s theory that the only way to ensure justice is by
trying to minimize injustice and Rawl’s difference principle, when we are helping the ultra
poor gain power and basic rights. I got to learn, know and see so much about Bangladesh first
hand, that I am amazed.
