WASH video - Kiribati

Did you know that poor or contaminated water supply and poor hygiene causes diarrhea for babies, children and adults? Sadly, chronic diarrhea can even lead to the death of babies.

Across Kiribati, and especially in South Tarawa, many people are living with extended family in cramped households. This can increase the risk of catching diarrhea and all it could take is just one person in the household to not practice good hygiene for everybody to become unwell.

As parents and as families, we are supposed to look after for our loved ones. Using good hygiene and keeping water supplies clean is essential for our health.

The video is made with help from the Ministry of Health Medical Services, UNICEF and ChildFund. It shares some good hygiene practices and how to maintain cleanliness of your water supply. Check it out!
