Revision history [back]

I have heard of quite a few art competitions run by our partners as part of hygiene promotion activities at schools and this sometime results in the best selected artworks being reproduced in large scale on a wall of the toilet building or on the side of a classroom. This is a great way to engage the youth in a fun and yet thoughtful activity while at the same time dealing with a critical issue.

One very powerful youth led activity around hygiene that I have seen is through the engagement of the Scout movements in Madagascar where, if I am not mistaken, the Scout groups go out to villages and on great campaigns and with popular songs, promoting good hygiene practices. As part of that I have seen them working with communities to beautify (paint & plant flowers) around their water points as a way to add a sense of value. No reason why this coudl not be considered artistic as well.

As far as collaboration with WaterAid goes, I suggest we pass this contact on the to Pakistan team
