WASH Week: A week of water, sanitation and hygiene workshops

2 June 2011

Dr Ted Lankester, InterHealth’s Director of Health Services, will be speaking on the opening day of ‘WASH Week.’ A series of intensive workshops in collaboration with RedR...

Natural disasters such as the earthquake in Haiti have highlighted the vital importance of training aid agencies to provide emergency water, sanitation and hygiene interventions. Without these fundamental basics millions will lose their lives.

In response to this RedR now run a series of intensive workshops called ‘WASH Week.’ This year the training is taking place from 27th June - 1 July, 2011.

During this week expert trainers, including Interhealth’s Director of Health Services, Ted Lankester, will cover the key issues and responses required to ensure water, sanitation and hygiene are provided to those in disaster situations.

Course covers:

• 27th June - Public Health with Dr Ted Lankester
• 28th June - Hygiene Promotion with Suzanne Ferron
• 29th June - Water Supply with Sarah House
• 30th June - Sanitation
• 1st July - Water Quality Testing (half day) and Cholera Response with Cheryl McDonald (half day)

This series of workshops will help ensure that solutions for water, sanitation and hygiene are suitable, effective and sustainable, based on existing practices and with input from local communities.

The week is specifically designed for WASH and programme management professionals looking to gain more in-depth knowledge of a specific topic and those that want an opportunity to refresh their knowledge.
