Detailed description: The aim of the project is to improve the health status of the local population and prevent infectious diseases. A total of 11 health facilities and 19 schools will improve hygiene and sanitation conditions. People in Need will repair or build new sanitation equipment in selected hospitals and schools and train local staff and volunteers to spread awareness about good hygiene habits. Key messages will focus on handwashing, latrine use, and will also promote the protection of young children from infections caused by E-coli bacteria through a pilot innovation called BabyWASH, which integrates access to water, sanitation and hygiene along with nutrition during the first 1,000 days of a child's life.
