Caring Across Borders |

Washing hands properly and hygienically—Growing up healthy together in the Sahara Desert! |
Located in the Sahara Desert region of West Africa, Niger is the least developed country in the world. Many communities and schools do not have toilets and hand washing facilities, and 78% of them have open defecation. Those children can only defecate in open spaces or in bushes. In addition to the great safety risks and inconveniences faced by the girls, the lack of hand washing facilities makes the students not have proper hygiene norms. Consequently, contagious diseases are likely to develop and spread rapidly, making schools a high-risk place for students and teachers. Toilets and hand washing, which are easily accessible in our lives, are unreachable in the remote villages of Niger!
World Vision launched a water and sanitation improvement program in Tahoua planning area, Niger, to improve water resources issues, build school restrooms and hand-washing facilities, and provide hygiene education. Ardentec supported World Vision in 2021 to set up 30 hand-washing devices in front of 10 school restrooms. Furthermore, with the personal hygiene knowledge promoted by World Vision, the children are able to develop the habit of hand washing and bring home the hygiene knowledge, so that their family members will also have the correct hygiene knowledge; thus, the children will be less likely to be infected with diseases. We look forward to seeing their healthy smiles and happy growth under the bright sun!
