Twelve volunteers and 12 communities (villages) participated in this project. The 12 volunteers involved in the sanitation project received training on conducting evaluations, as well as CLTS project itself. Four Youth Star staff also benefited from these trainings.
The volunteers, their community partners and youth clubs mobilized a broad range of community members (over 1,400 persons), including village chiefs, school directors, commune councilors, parents and youths to participate in sanitation campaigns focused on hand washing, and building and using locally made, affordable latrines.
Other Youth Star volunteers who were not formally a part of the project also managed to mobilize their communities to build another 100 latrines. The end of project evaluation showed that 80% of families who built latrines were using them properly. Over 200 community youth club members also gained valuable skills in mobilizing the community, hygiene, building latrines, and evaluation.
Theara finds new levels of confidence and learns new skillls leading a youth club and teaching on education, health and susatainability.
