Earlier today, the #IamAPHRC Jengu Project team shared key findings from a collaborative initiative aimed at promoting hand hygiene in the Dadaab (Kenya) and Kyangwali (Uganda) refugee camps.

The dissemination workshop held in Nairobi, brought together stakeholders from WASH, Ministries of Health, research institutions, humanitarian organizations, and local partners to explore evidence-based strategies for improving handwashing practices in emergency contexts.

Key insights from the project include:
✅Access to fixed handwashing stations and soap, alongside health messaging, significantly boosts handwashing behavior.
✅Addressing barriers to consistent handwashing is essential for lasting behavior change.
✅Sustained and targeted health messaging reinforces the impact of physical hygiene infrastructure.
✅Engaging community leaders and health promoters is crucial to delivering effective health messages.
✅Supporting local fabrication and repair of handwashing facilities enhances long-term sustainability.

These strategies offer a practical roadmap to improving public health outcomes in humanitarian settings.

Do you have a strategy, or just wishful thinking?

Without a blueprint, your strategy is just guesswork.

Use my blueprint for success.

Btw, I have a gift for you in my bio link.

And if this post was of value to you, reposting it would help tremendously! :)

@IamDennisOtieno I disagree with you on this one, waking up early improved our academic performance in Maseno by increasing alertness and concentration.
