| Abstract | Findings from the SWASH+ project demonstrate that with minimal training on and investment in school infrastructure, schools can improve knowledge and practices relating to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). For example, if schools are provided with a limited supply of hypochlorite solution and educated about safe water treatment then at least 40% will continue treating their water a year later after supplies have run out, compared with 4.5% in schools that have not received the supplies and education. However, with additional time, even these results may not be sustainable. [authors abstract] This is a one-page summary based on a 2008 study conducted by SWASH+. This is a SWASH+ -output. |
