Living Water International (LWI) is a faith-based non-profit organization that helps communities in developing countries to create sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) programs in response to the global water crisis. Humanitarian Global got a chance to train the Living Water international team distributed across Africa in different countries. The MHM and SBCC training was conducted online for the Living Water International Africa region team by the Humanitarian Global Team between 1 August 2022 – 5 August 2022. Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) and Social Behavioural Change Communication (SBCC) can be often overlooked, but they play a vital role in the day-to-day running of WaSH programs and are an integral part of WaSH programming,
The training involved activities that were grouped into three segments and the training participants undertook short pre-tests before the commencement of the training. The segments were divided as follows:
- Online training facilitated by the trainer
- Group work and case studies.
- SurveyJamboardnnaires and Google Jamboard
After the training, the Living Water team was awarded certificates and Digital HPass Badges in MHM and SBCC because they were fully equipped with knowledge and skills in the areas.
