Strengthening Hand Hygiene for All in Zambia

WaterAid Zambia participated in the Zambia Institute of Environmental Health (ZIEH) Elective Annual General Meeting (EAGM), where we disseminated the Hand Hygiene for All (HH4A) Roadmap to Environmental Health Practitioners from across the country.

During the three-day EAGM, our Provincial Manager and ZIEH member, Mr. Tassel Bulanda, presented the HH4A Roadmap, highlighting the inclusive process behind its development, its key components, and the critical role ZIEH can play in advancing its implementation.

The engagement further outlined a clear Call to Action for ZIEH, emphasising the need to provide technical leadership on hygiene standards and infrastructure; mobilise Environmental Health Practitioners to support national, provincial, district and sub-district implementation; lead capacity building and Continuing Professional Development on hand hygiene and behaviour change; strengthen policy advocacy for sustainable hygiene financing and harmonised guidelines; participate in multi-sectoral coordination and accountability mechanisms; support the enforcement of legislation that promotes good hand hygiene practices; and drive innovation in hand hygiene approaches, including investment in research and development.

WaterAid Participates in National WASH in Schools Learning and Sharing Event

WaterAid Zambia took part in the national WASH in Schools (WiNS) Learning Event hosted by the NGO WASH Forum Zambia and held under the theme “Strengthening Systems for Sustainable WiNS.” Representing the organisation, Our Hygiene Officer Ms Kachusha Nkosha facilitated a brainstorming session on hygiene integration and institutionalisation within the education sector.

During the session, participants shared their understanding of what integration means in practice and reflected on experiences from implementation at various levels. One of the recurring points was that hygiene often does not have a separate budget line, making it difficult to track progress and sustain improvements.

Ms Nkosha noted that for WiNS to achieve long-term impact, hygiene should be incorporated into policies, planning, financing, and monitoring systems. She also highlighted the importance of governance that involves administrators, teachers, learners, caregivers, and communities.

Key points from the session included:
* The need to strengthen hygiene systems to improve school health outcomes.
* The importance of governance structures with clear roles at all levels.
* The role of community engagement in supporting school hygiene behaviours.
* The need for organisations to harmonise tools and approaches for consistency.
* The importance of coordination among ministries to promote cost-effectiveness and sustainability.

WaterAid reiterated its support to Government efforts to advance resilient and sustainable hygiene services in schools, ensuring healthier learning environments for all learners.

Why WASH is essential to human rights

Strengthening WASH Awareness in Maternal Health: WaterAid’s Engagement at the Nurses and Midwives Indaba

The 2025 Nurses and Midwives Indaba, held under the theme “Transforming Healthcare through Innovative Nursing and Midwifery Education and Practice,” from 29th - 31st October 2025 brought together nursing leaders, practitioners, and partners to reflect on opportunities to strengthen healthcare delivery in Zambia.

During this three-day gathering, Ms. Kachusha Nkosha our Hygiene Officer, represented WaterAid with a focused contribution aimed at positioning WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) as an essential component of quality maternal and newborn care.

Even with limited engagement slots, Ms. Nkosha made targeted interventions emphasizing the critical role of nurses and midwives in sustaining hand hygiene compliance, a cornerstone of Infection Prevention and Control in maternity and neonatal settings. She highlighted that nurses, as primary caregivers, are ideally positioned to champion hand hygiene initiatives and lead the cultural shift needed to reduce preventable infections.

In a key discussion with Ms. Beauty, Registrar of the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Zambia (NMCZ), Ms. Nkosha shared two essential resources: the Kutuba Hygiene Behaviour Change Package and the WASH in Healthcare Facilities Guidelines.
These materials were presented as practical entry points for enhancing WASH visibility within nursing regulation, standards, and practice. The Registrar welcomed the resources, opening space for future collaboration on integrating hygiene behaviour change into nursing and midwifery professional development.

WaterAid remains committed to supporting national and district-level efforts to strengthen WASH in healthcare facilities, embedding hygiene behaviour change across maternal, newborn, and child health services, partnering with regulatory bodies like NMCZ to ensure WASH is integrated into professional training, guidelines, and practice standards, and empowering nurses and midwives as champions of safe, dignified, and clean care.

Nkosha’s participation added value by opening new conversations with nursing leadership and reinforcing the importance of WASH within the Indaba’s broader theme of innovation in healthcare practice. WaterAid will continue advocating for environments where every mother and baby receives care that is clean, safe, and respectful.

Judith Phiri’s Story: Clean Water Restoring Health, Hope, and Opportunity in Sylvia Masebo Community

For years, life in the Sylvia Masebo community was marked by uncertainty. Every rainy season brought fear as cholera cases surged. Families relied on unsafe, shallow wells. Businesses struggled. And for community member Judith Phiri, the crisis became deeply personal when she lost a close friend to cholera.

But today, everything is different.

WaterAid developed and expanded a reliable water system that now provides clean, safe drinking water to over 9,000 people in the community. With six 10,000-litre tanks, an auto-chlorinator, a new pump, and 20 water kiosks, the community finally has the water security it had long been waiting for.

Since the system was installed, not a single cholera case has been recorded.

For Judith, clean water has transformed both her home and her livelihood:

Today, Judith operates her salon business with confidence, no longer losing time, customers, or income due to the lack of water. She is one of many community members whose lives and livelihoods are thriving because safe water is finally within reach.

💙 This is what dignity looks like.
💙 This is what safe water makes possible.
