Project
Zone |
| |
|
The
project zone lies in the east of Burkina Faso in the
province of Gnagna. About 41 % of the population is
taking its drinking water during the dry season from
modern wells. During the rainy season they use traditional
wells or other open water sources. In this region GRET
is already implementing a nutrition programme for pregnant
and breast feeding women, in which the SODIS methode
will be integrated.

|
Implementation
Strategy |
| |
|
- Train
the trainers, who are already in charge of the hygiene
education of the programme, so that they can introduce
the method there
- Training
of the promotors will be done together with the health
center
- Promotion
and Sensitisation will be done on the level of Health
Center, the villages and the households
- The
bottle supply will be organised through the same channel
like the medicine of the Health Center
