Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Education

a process in which individuals gain

•Awareness of their living environment
•Knowledge
•Skills
•Values
•Experiences

and  the determination that enables them to act - individually and collectively - to solve present and future water, sanitation and related hygiene problems

 

-an innovative approach that not only imparts knowledge on water, sanitation and hygiene but also inspires and motivates learners to change their behaviour towards wise and sustainable use of water.

 

HVWSHE approach has many advantages

• can be integrated with ease to the existing curriculum
• creates a lasting impact through character development, when understood, appreciated and practiced by children and young adults
• a proven approach practised world-wide, well documented and evaluated by experts
