Such awareness-raising takes place both in villages and schools. W4EE works with its implementing partners Rural Water and Sanitation Support Agency (RUWASSA) together with Hope for Women and Children Foundation and Moon Light Development Organisation.  \nIn schools, the children’s hygiene sanitation training (CHST) approach is used. Young children learn through exercises and games about the links between personal hygiene and health.”This cascades to other pupils and even the surrounding communities as the children go home and discuss what they have learned,”Pasquina Acidria, former RUWASSA trainer and current NIRASteam member, explains. Teachers and health clubs are also targeted and become trainers themselves, spreading good sanitation habits and raising awareness about menstrual hygiene and ways to keep girls in school (see reverse) .  \nTo supplement work in schools, as part of the community-led total sanitation approach (see reverse), 54 water management committees in Torit have received sanitation and hygiene training which implementation partners followup. In Kapoeta, 82 community hygiene promoters are working in 41 villages on a voluntary basis.  \n”We faced frequent stomach pains, typhoid, and cholera; every disease was here but we thought that was normal. But then RUWASSA taught us how to dig latrines and you can no longer see feces here anymore ... We also learned how to treat the drinking water with chlorine or to boil it to prevent typhoid. I am so happy for the awareness on sanitation and hygiene brought to us by this project. Thankyou so much for that helping heart ”  \nApolloniaIchang, Yegi Yegi village  \nThe CHST approach is based on the premise that hygiene practices are largely acquired  \nduring childhood, and it is much easier to change children’s habits than those of adults.  \nAchieving open-defecation-free status  \nOpen defecation is a serious health issue in South Sudan leading to diseases such as typhoid and cholera among others.  \nAs W4EE is a development project, the approach for the most part is to get the communities to innovate their own solutions, using the resources they have available. Visiting 66 villages in Torit and Kapoeta, implementing partners tackle this culturally challenging issue through the community-led total sanitation (CLTS) approach. NIRAS team member Pasquina Acidria explains the process:“We start by introducing ourselves to the community and asking about hygiene practices. We map and visit the open defection area ‒ what we refer to as ‘the walk of shame’. We expose food to the feces and villagers immediately see the interaction between house flies and the food. This then‘triggers’ them to realise that by not having a latrine and defecating in the open, they are in effect eating and drinking their own and their neighbours’ feces. Once they understand, they make a decision to do something about it and develop an  \naction plan to becoming ODF (open defecation free).” The triggering is followed by a latrine-building","cbCaieDO2fLIRGKc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieDO2fLIRGKc","pdf",552563,"English","# Key successes\n## Education and awareness-raising\n## Achieving open-defecation-free status\n## Menstrual hygiene","[{\"question\":\"What are the key outcomes achieved by W4EE sanitation and hygiene work?\",\"answer\":\"W4EE reports 30 girl-friendly latrine blocks in schools, water management committees established in 54 villages, CLTS triggering in 66 villages toward ODF status, and health clubs in 47 schools.
