Voluntary members of the Oxfam water and sanitation committee head into Jamam refugee camp to spread over the loud-speaker vital messages to young women about good hygiene practices and to distribute female hygiene kits, which include underwear, soap and sanitary cloth.
Amani Silman Maujil, 22, wash committee member and mother of three,
says the water committee can be a bridge between Oxfam and the
community. "There have been a lot of positive changes, first
change is the use of pit latrines. We do home-to-home visits sharing
Oxfam's health advice on the importance of cleaning and washing the
children, cutting nails, covering food, all to help prevent diarrea
and disease."
