Hygiene Training

Giving people access to education about basic hygiene and preventable diseases is a key ingredient in promoting sustainable change in the communities we work with. JWOC Clean Water Project Scholarship students are trained to give engaging and informative training sessions to the families in the villages where we work. The training sessions focus on basic hygiene practices such as hand-washing and teeth cleaning. We also aim to raise awareness about the dangers of using contaminated water as a cause of illness and disease and how people can change their everyday routine to prevent getting sick.

In order to give the most effective training possible, JWOC uses engaging and relevant training materials and activities. This makes our training sessions interactive, memorable and practical for the participants in the hope that they will continue what they have learnt at home making changes for the better in their everyday lives. A small hygiene pack containing a toothbrush, toothpaste and soap is provided to every person attending the training so they can put their learning into practice straight away.
