Integrating water, sanitation, hygiene and the environment in school education

24 Nov 09

Good education in school about water, sanitation and hygiene is as important as good sanitary facilities: both components go hand-in-hand. In 2002, UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Programme was cooperating with over 50 countries to achieve integrated WASHE (water, sanitation, health, hygiene and environment) programmes in schools, an increase of 43% in six years . Nine years of cooperation between UNICEF and IRC have resulted in a number of lessons on effective education programmes on water supply, sanitation and hygiene, especially in primary schools. These have been summarised in a paper. This is an excerpt from a more substantial paper called Faith in Water: Water supply, sanitation and hygiene facilities and related education in faith-based schools by Annemarieke Mooyman and Christine Sijbesma.
