As we all know, prevention is better than a cure. So to tackle the problems caused by bad hygiene and sanitation, plus a lack of health awareness, various projects are doing their best to help people learn how to protect themselves. 

In Tanzania nearly five children die every hour due to poor hygiene conditions, according to UNICEF. Inadequate water supply and sanitation facilities are not only a health issue but also affect school attendance and educational performance.

UNICEF, in collaboration with the Tanzanian government, has introduced the pilot WASH program to 100 schools around the country, promoting good sanitation and hygiene practices. In this video we look at how the program has changed the students' daily lives.
