Wash in Schools Programs in Zambia
In 2009-2011, Africare, in partnership with UNICEF, implemented WASH programs in rural Zambian schools. They constructed latrines and handwashing stations, implemented school-led-total-sanitation to end open defecation, and mentored students to become peer educators for sanitation and hygiene. The official program has ended, but the activities have continued and have created a ripple effect in the community.
