School water programmes work, handwashing with soap remains a big problem
In more than 80% of the programme schools that participated in a six-country SSHE pilot project from 2000-2004, facilities to provide water were still available and in working order 12 to 18 months after the project had finished. The availability and use of soap remains a major problem in most of the schools and is causing concern.
