Enhancing the Capacity of WASH committees

Summer is coming to Jordan with over 35 degrees Celsius during day time and a strong sunshine in the desert, Zaatari Camp. As the temperature rises, risk of spreading water-borne diseases increases as well.

Following the participation in the camp-wide hygiene promotion campaign led by UNHCR and UNICEF in the beginning of June, we organized a hygiene awareness campaign to enhance the capacity of the WASH Committees in the camp from the 26th of June. The uniqueness of this campaign is that the main actors include the WASH committees, and are not just international aid organizations like JEN. We design the campaign with WASH committees and committees will spread the message after they gain knowledge through our hygiene training. Currently, we see lots of members attending our trainings.

In addition, our field team visits all WASH facilities (around 500) in the camp on daily basis with WASH committee to monitor the condition of facilities.
