Water Sanitation Hygiene

At KHIDNET, we realise that access to water, proper sanitation and good hygienic conditions are key aspects of ensuring a healthy life. A host of diseases and conflicts is associated with limited access to safe water, poor sanitation and hygiene such as bilharzia, diarrhoea, dysentery, skin infections, malaria, typhoid among others and these are costly in terms of treatment costs and time to Ugandans.
KIDHNET is doing the following;

• We leverage the current technologies to further reach out to people with important messages that will change their attitudes and perceptions towards relevance of safe water, proper sanitation and good hygienic conditions.
• We have school tailored programs that target school going children with relevant knowledge on how best to promote waster sanitation and hygiene as this would change their mindset from their young age.
• We also have household tailored water, sanitation and hygiene programs that seek to mobilise and remind families of their duty to observe best practices in toilet usage, safe water preparation and storage, maintaining personal hygiene and a clean homestead among others.
• There are also community level efforts whereby the organization seeks to collaborate with government leaders at all levels to ensure that the right infrastructure in terms of feeder roads, proper drainage channels, safe water connectivity and other WASH programs are continuously improved.
• We also seek to improve the hygienic conditions of girls and women by leveraging on technology and innovation to avail low-cost or free pads and sanitary towels for all to access and use whenever in menstrual periods.
