The project improved water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in Red Bank village by:

• Improving the access to adequate sanitation and hygiene facilities in seven households and the village's community center, primary school and health center.
• Implementing education activities.

The project reached 500 direct and 37,183 indirect beneficiaries.

To improve sanitation infrastructure:  

• Eight dry-double-vault composting toilets with hand-washing stations were be built (seven in the house of women group members and one at the community center).

• One flush toilet at the health post and the pit latrine at the primary school were repaired by the project. 

To increase knowledge on adequate sanitation practices:

• Toilet owners and other community members actively participated in the construction/repair of the toilet facilities and attended training sessions about their construction/repair, use and maintenance.

• 37,183 indirect beneficiaries were reached with a post in  social media with information about the project and the type of toilets built.

To increase knowledge on WASH:

• 500 direct beneficiaries - via training sessions and one community event - learnt about: adequate sanitation practices; local and affordable solutions to improved sanitation; the relationship between water, sanitation, hygiene and health.
