Sesiana Duma, a mother of three, shares: “We have seen a huge difference since we started using the hand-washing stations. Before we had a hand-washing station, the trips to dispensaries were endless. We were given a lot of medicines to cure the diseases that our children were suffering from and it was mainly stomach fever, running nose, and coughing. But when we were given a workshop on hand washing and given the hand-washing station, we have not experienced any type of sickness since then and thus we discovered that hand washing with clean water and soap is very important to everyone’s health.”
