East Africa School Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Program

The project addresses the need to improve poor water and sanitation conditions common to many schools in poor rural and urban East Africa. Project activities support water and sanitation facility construction, community participation, gender equality, environmental sustainability, and capacity-building to local partner organisations. It assists 183 primary schools in Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya over a 60 month period. All water supply and sanitation facilities are constructed on school ground/property, and are complemented by hygiene education, planned and implemented, in collaboration with students, teachers and their communities. At each school, a School Management Committee is formed and trained to ensure the operation and maintenance of the new systems, and to help the promotion and application of good hygiene practices at the school and in their homes. The direct beneficiaries are 128,600 students, teachers and school staff. Indirect beneficiaries include 300,000 parents, care givers and other household members of the school community. NGO partners are: Cheshire Foundation Action for Inclusion/CFAI (Ethiopia), Rural Community Development Organisation/COWDO (Ethiopia), Oromo Self-Reliance Association/OSRA (Ethiopia), Water Action/WACT (Ethiopia), Kenya Water for Health Organisation/KWAHO (Kenya), Sustainable Aid in Africa International/SANA (Kenya), Community Integrated Development Initiatives/CIDI (Uganda), Voluntary Action for Development/VAD (Uganda), Joint Effort to Save the Environment/JESE (Uganda).
