Moreover, it likes to play in water! Known to all children, very represented in African tales, it is at the heart of this device.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An elephant's foot path connects the latrine to the canteen, passing through the washing point. The traditional water tank is an elephant head, the water comes out of the trunk and the ears are mirrors! The children will choose the colors and will be involved in the making and painting of the different elements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The goal is to instill the habit of handwashing in little schoolchildren by turning a daily chore into a fun routine around a colorful game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ef7097;\">This pilot project, which will start very soon, is installed in 10 elementary school in the province of Gourma, in the east of the country, and involves 3,600 students, 54 educational staff and about 7,200 parents, for one year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We will study precisely the impact of the device on handwashing with soap at critical times of the day and improve the prototypes in light of the experience. If the results are positive, the device could be deployed, with financial support from UNICEF, throughout the country.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>L\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat sanitaire du lavage des mains n\u2019est plus \u00e0 prouver mais comment faire en sorte que les jeunes enfants y prennent go\u00fbt\u00a0et acqui\u00e8rent ce r\u00e9flexe lorsque les campagnes de sensibilisation ne sont pas concluantes\u00a0?
