Three Part Hygiene Plan Sao Sary Foundation The following is the summary of the three part hygiene

program. The purpose of these initiatives is to provide a sustainable, efficient and appropriate method of introducing a structured hygiene component into the water sanitation and hygiene program here at Sao Sary Foundation. 1) Tool Kit: build a tool kit of education materials that the staff assigned to this project, also known as the community livelihood staff, can utilize when installing the filters. The tools will make it easier to provide impromptu training to the busy village residents. Why: when shadowing the community livelihoods staff to install water-filters, I noticed that they would take their laptops out of their brief cases, spend time to turn them on on and flip through files to find pictures of illnesses caused by tainted water. Staff would also flip through their cameras to give instruction about the maintenance of the Biosand filter. I asked the staff if they would find it helpful to have a small set of pictures and diagrams to bring with them when they were doing installations. They all agreed that this would be helpful Process: tools were taken from the Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology (CAWST) website and were culturally appropriate to East Asia. All posters are in Cambodias official language, Khmer and show diagrams of the Bio-sand water filters. Other posters were created to show the effects of improper hygiene. I compiled pictures of results of water-borne illnesses and wrote an information sheet to have translated and printed for each staff. Lastly, instructional hand washing posters that were culturally appropriate and in Khmer were printed. Upon discussion with staff they felt that one poster per village was enough and more would be wasteful. The total number of villages is 20. Once all posters were translated to Khmer, I printed and laminated them to create the beginning of a tool kit that staff can bring with them to installations. Cost: the total cost for this project was $29 Limitations: ideally, the kits would have also included a device that can be used to show the bacteria on an individuals hands before and after washing. At this time we do not have the resources for this project. 2) Soap Making: Create an avenue in which village residents can access affordable soap. Why: Soap in Cambodia is typically imported so its quite expensive, therefore, it is unsustainable to assume that individuals will buy their own soap. Soap however, is vital in stopping the spread of illnesses related to hygiene. Process: I have been able to contact an agency that can train the staff at SSF about how to make soap out of local materials (coconut oil, lemon grass, pig lard, etc). The staff at SSF will then be able to train village residents how to make their own soap, and perhaps even support them in starting a small business. The soap also removes lice and is effective in fighting against scabies. This soap is best used on hands, clothes and hair. The cost of one bar of soap has been reduced from 5000R to 500R through this process. Training will take place on July 31, 2013 and will include 10 participants. Transportation has been arranged to pick up participants at 6am on July 31, 2013. Participants will receive breakfast on the way to training and lunch is provided by the facility. Participants that do not have access to a notebook will receive one.

Cost: Training- $150 , Transportation - $100, Extra costs - $30, Money for materials to make soap $100. Total = $380 Limitations: Training is occurring two days after the election. Safety of the participants is of the upmost importance

3) Training: Send one of the female livelihoods workers to a training program provided by CAWST in another province. Why: the person attending the training is the only community livelihoods worker that does not yet have this training. CAWST will provide thorough training about the importance of hygiene in conjunction to the safe water program and will give culturally appropriate information on how to promote hygiene practices. This information can then be shared effectively to the community. Process: This training is supported by the Church World Service and has topics including water, installations, working with the community, active listening skills, behaviour changes etc. The staff will be provided with transportation to this location and will attend the four day training workshop. See training schedule below Cost: training provided by CAWST is free. Transportation, room and board, and food costs - $132 Limitations: N/A

Funds: because I did not want any projects to be a financial burden to SSF, I was able raise money for these programs.
