Chères/Chers ami·e·s et collègues,
La COVID-19 a mis le lavage des mains sous les projecteurs grâce à des campagnes motivantes en matière de comportements d’hygiène à l’échelle locale, nationale et mondiale.
Alors que nous tentons de nous adapter à cette « nouvelle normalité », nous devons absolument veiller à ne pas renouer avec nos mauvaises habitudes en nous lavant les mains moins souvent. Il s’agit d’un défi mondial mais ceux et celles qui manquent de ressources seront confrontés à de plus gros obstacles, notamment un manque d’eau courante et de savon.
En avril, nous avons publié la première édition de notre Compendium sur le lavage des mains dans les contextes pauvres en ressources. Cette semaine, nous sommes ravis de partager avec vous la troisième édition.
Les sections nouvelles ou fortement remaniées comprennent :
le lavage des mains qui témoignent de l’ingéniosité des acteurs désireux
de s’adapter aux contextes locaux.

Caros amigos e colegas,
A COVID-19 veio dar especial realce à lavagem das mãos, com campanhas inspiradoras de mudança de comportamentos, a nível global, nacional e
local.
Ao adaptarmo-nos a uma «nova normalidade», temos de nos certificar de que não voltamos a velhos hábitos, lavando as mãos com menos frequência. Trata-se de um desafio global, mas as pessoas que vivem em meios de poucos recursos têm perante si maiores obstáculos, incluindo a falta de água corrente e de sabão.
Em Abril, publicámos a primeira edição do nosso Compêndio de Lavagem de Mãos para Meios de Poucos Recursos. Esta semana, temos o prazer de vos fazer chegar a nossa terceira edição.
As secções novas ou muito modificadas são as seguintes:

Bringing existing information from different organisations into one place, the compendium provides guidance, local examples of and further resources on accessible low-cost handwashing facilities, environmental cues and physically distanced hygiene promotion.
The compendium is a living document which will be updated regularly as more examples and good practice emerge. It has been developed and disseminated quickly so immediate, relevant and timely actions can be taken. This version is the third edition. This updated version includes new or heavily edited sections on:
Please share feedback and contributions via email ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) or Twitter (@SanLearningHub). We are interested to hear how the compendium is being used as well as feedback and inputs to improve it.

Re: Developing a Handwashing Compendium - guidance on low-cost handwashing facilities
Hi Chaiwe,
Thanks for your feedback and highlighting this important point. We have a section on accessibility which includes information on the importance of location, paths, ramps, tap type etc for facilities and the importance of considering users' needs when planning these. This section draws heavily on the Compendium for Accessible WASH Technologies which we recommend readers refer to. Recognising that some readers may not have time to read multiple publications, we have added a few more details to the handwashing compendium section on this for the next edition too.
As you spotted, we are also trying to include examples of more accessible community engagement and hygiene promotion initiatives for the next edition (although we have not received many to date). Your post is a useful prompt for me though to go back to the main text in this section and make sure that accessibility is sufficiently emphasised.
Thanks!
Mimi

Re: Developing a Handwashing Compendium - guidance on low-cost handwashing facilities

Greetings All,
I had a quick look at the compendium and wanted to know a bit more about the inclusiveness aspects. I noticed across the publication the visually impaired were considered in terms of them having access to soap. My concern is how does this visually impaired person or person on a wheelchair get to the handwashing facility? I didn’t come across anything that highlights how they’d actually know that there’s an existing handwashing facility available to them i.e poster written in braille, paths specifically designed for disabled people, posters in local languages etc. On the facility’s accessibility, for guidance sake I feel there should have been more emphasis on ensuring users with disabilities specifically can have easy access.
I will however refer to this post inquiries by Mimi on the subject, which suggests that the aspect of inclusiveness within the compendium could do with some accompanying examples: forum.susana.org/inclusive-programming-a...id-19-pandemic#30893

Chaiwe

Hi Nitya,
Thanks for sharing! I assume it was developed pre-COVID? Do you know who developed it and how it has been used?
Best,
Mimi

Just to say that I have no idea why my post above keeps being published aligned to the right! Hopefully people can follow it ok but if one of the moderators could fix it I'd be grateful (I have tried editing several times with no success...)
(note by moderator: problem solved; it was a bug at our end with the Arabic script display)

Dear All,
The second edition was published on Friday and can be found on the IDS website: www.ids.ac.uk/publications/handwashing-c...s-a-living-document/ . French, Portuguese and Arabic translations of the compendium will be added to this page shortly.
We hope to update it again in July so please do continue to share examples with us via email (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) or Twitter (@SanLearningHub).

I work at Camphill Community Trust, an NGO in Otse, Botswana providing education and training for learning disabled children and young people aged 4 - adult.
In response to COVID 19 we initially made Tippy Taps which worked well as an emergency measure.
We are now making our version of the pipe with holes, controlled by a ball valve.
It is supported on a simple steel frame and uses a 6m long, 315mm diam PVC water pipe cut in half lengthwise as a 'gutter'.
Used water is drained to a simple mulch basin or sand filter.
It allows for four people to wash hands at the same time , two on each side for C19 distancing.
We intend to work on a through-flow water heater based on a wood fired rocket stove.
Happy to provide more details.
