POST-EBOLA SANITATION

During the Ebola crisis in 2014 in Sierra Leone, it became apparent that whilst health
professionals were recommending frequent hand washing with soap and warm water, in
most villages, there was no access to local water and no enhanced sanitation facilities
available. Humanity First decided to start with the next generation, so embarked on a
project to install enhanced toilet facilities in 11 schools with plumbed water, and also
trained the children in the importance of good hygiene for health. Feedback has been that
these children have taken this knowledge back to their villages to spread the practice.
