Notes
Keneth,Martin and Steven made a visit to namusita for a purpose of hand washing triggering session.on arrival,the community Members were not yet at the site and so they had to make walks around homes mobilizing them for the session. During the home to home mobilization,they came across certain homestead that had modified stoves in their kitchens and this impressed them and implied that there will be ease for a Kibo program like the stoves and safe kitchens since some members were interested. During the session a number Of members attended and even members of the neighboring village came and this really gave a positive encouragement since this visitor can use this information to transform his village.Martin sensitized the members on the ways how they can eat each other’s feacal matter with or without their know through lessons like walls contamination where feaces are used in writing on the walls of the latrine,asked members what they use for annal cleaning after toilet and members gave answers like stones,leaves,papers,and even some said they scrub with their hands in cases of cleaning babies. Martin enlightened on how feaces can get to their hands and easily be eaten and asked the community how to make their hands clean,and the community members said by washing their hands. Keneth asked the community members if there was any one with clean hands to come forth and demonstrated on how to wash their hands and the community learnt from these volunteers from the water waste difference when they washed their hands without soap and after washing with soap and Hands rinsed and the community adopted and promised to start washing their hands with soap or ash after the latrine visit and before food handling. Steven took the community through hand washing stand construction and a demonstration was made at the namusita health center 2 toilet facility where the community took led and participated fully guided by the Kibo facilitators. after they handed 40 Kibo jerrycans and 2bags of cement to the chairman and community members to liaise with the mansion person who learnt the skill to build for them and get a free Kibo jerrycan and buy 3kgs of cement for plastering for sustainability.
