Children’s Hygiene And Sanitation Training

One of the basic factors ensuring the success of health programs is the provision of knowledge and development of hygiene habits in order to prevent diseases related to water and environmental sanitation for children. Raising awareness for changes of hygiene behavior will become easier when we build up hygiene habits for children from an early age, which will be maintained when they grow up. Apart from that, this approach will have an active impact on other members of children’s families and on the communities because children can easily communicate and share the knowledge acquired with their peers and do not hesitate to express their ideas towards unhygienic behavior of their family members and their communities. Therefore, this is the foundation upon which the organization of Caritas Switzerland/Luxembourg supported in developing the approach of Children’s Hygiene And Sanitation Training (CHAST) in 2002.
