New From HIP: WASH Training Package for the Prevention of Diarrheal Disease The "Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Improvement Training Package for the Prevention of Diarrheal Disease," provides information for organizations worldwide that seek to add WASH activities to their current programs or to start a diarrhea reduction program. It is intended to support the training of local outreach workers and their work in communities to promote improved WASH practices to reduce diarrhea. The Training Package consists of three separate parts: (1) a step-by-step "Guide for Training Outreach Workers," (2) an "Outreach Worker’s Handbook" for community outreach workers to use during and after training, and (3) a "Collection of Resource Materials" to use as a source for visual aids.

A Compendium of Resources: Integrating Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene, into Primary Schools and Teacher Training. June 2009. Recently updated, this compendium of resources is intended for organizations or individuals planning or carrying out school-based education projects, pre or in-service teacher training, and programs aimed at orphans and vulnerable children. Its activities are focused on the primary school level, but of course hygiene and sanitation improvement is important at the secondary level as well. Its focus is more on in-classroom and extracurricular activities and less on infrastructure, although there are some references with guidance on this.
