Sustainable WaSH outcomes depend not only on infrastructure but also on community adoption of hygiene practices. SO2 implemented comprehensive behavior change campaigns to promote handwashing, safe water storage, and proper sanitation. These campaigns were tailored to local cultural contexts, using participatory methods such as community workshops, theater performances, and peer-led discussions.
Community Awareness Campaigns: Over 100 awareness sessions were conducted, reaching thousands of community members. These sessions emphasized the importance of hygiene in preventing diseases and included practical demonstrations of handwashing techniques and water treatment methods.
School-Based Programs: In schools, SO2 introduced hygiene education programs to instill lifelong habits in children. Interactive sessions covered topics such as handwashing, safe water handling, and the importance of using latrines. These programs were complemented by the installation of child-friendly handwashing stations and sanitation facilities.
Child protection and positive parenting: About 350 HH are become aware about positive parenting care and child protection.
The behavior change initiatives benefited 15,000 individuals in communities in Cox’s Bazar. By engaging community leaders, teachers, and youth groups, the program ensured that hygiene messages were disseminated effectively and sustained over time.
