context_page_description: The School WatSani project aims to make safe water and improved sanitation accessible in 10 schools in Dogu’a Tembien district, north Ethiopia. Through nudging approach, the students are sensitised for using the sanitation and water facilities.
context_section_description: By actively enabling teachers and pupils in all aspects of the project, this project aims to grow the school as a knowledge pool around water and sanitation and to have a positive effect on society as a whole. Since this society consists mainly of small-scale farming families, a link is also made to the strengthening of small-scale agriculture and exemplary water management is strengthened around the schools.
  Not only the school's hygiene and water supply are positively affected but also the surrounding community. The municipality has meetings with the partners, school and the community. For example, there is local foundationof the project and the investments. The investments are necessary and will be met with local contractors and the surrounding community. It not only brings investment but also provides the necessary support through nudging for the right use and encouragement of use. In addition to the investments, the project also takes into account local/scientific knowledge/techniques to influence water availability. The design of the latrines is the right one adapted for the environment. The project thinks about sustainability, is open to improvement and learns from mistakes.
