May 2009 HIp-LIGHTS In May HIP held a three-day pilot training workshop on integrating WASH into HIV/AIDS home-based care in Uganda. Twenty-two field staff and volunteers from seven organizations were instructed on safe water treatment and storage, proper feces management, proper menstrual blood management, and hand washing with soap at critical times. In Amoroni Mania, Madagascar, HIP is working in partnership with UNICEF to pioneer a community-led total sanitation initiative; training has begun in small villages in the region. Also this month, HIP’s director and deputy director participated in a State Department-sponsored workshop to develop a U.S. government strategic approach for implementing the Paul Simon Water for the Poor Act.

A Compendium of Resources: Integrating Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene, into Primary Schools and Teacher Training. September 2008. 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.
