The strategy aims to enhance the health and well-being of vulnerable children through improved access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene. The first strategy focuses on enhancing access to clean water by installing or repairing wells and water systems, promoting water conservation, and ensuring community involvement in water management. For example, installing rainwater harvesting systems and distributing water filters directly improves water access and quality.
The second strategy is improving sanitation facilities by building or refurbishing toilets, promoting eco-friendly latrines, and organizing training sessions on sanitation maintenance. This approach ensures that sanitation facilities are both accessible and effective, thus reducing health risks.
The third strategy promotes hygiene education by developing educational materials and conducting interactive workshops on hygiene practices. Engaging communities through public awareness campaigns and distributing hygiene kits are practical steps taken to instigate behavioral changes in personal hygiene, such as proper handwashing techniques and menstrual hygiene awareness.
