Pauline Aluoch
Pauline’s children often suffered from diarrhoea. Her neighbour was concerned and referred her to the local clinic. “I just could not figure out why my children had diarrhoea over and over again,” she explained. After her visit to the clinic, she attended a hygiene session facilitated by Practical Action. As part of the session, Pauline learnt about the importance of handwashing.
“The training was an eye opener for me because I was able to see some of the things that I had to change.”
Pauline soon set up her own handwashing station in her home which means she can easily wash her hands regularly. She’s also improved the hygiene around her home so her children can play in a safer environment.
“Now my kids eat with clean hands and their clothes are even more clean now! So far my children have not had diarrhoea since they were last treated”
