The Kit Yamoyo trial from September 2012 to August 2013 showed a significant increase in the perception of ORS as an effective diarrhea treatment and a rise in its usage among children in trial areas. Key metrics included a reduction in distance to obtain ORS from 7.3 km to 2.4 km and correct mixing of ORS among users at 93%. The trial faced funding challenges, halting activities in Southern Province in November 2014, but plans are in place to restart marketing efforts in early 2016.
