Testimonial from our previous trainee

RISPER WERE NYAKOA (WASH Program Officer) Norwegian Church Aid (NCA), Somalia Program

“The training has been very informative and interactive. I have understood the application of PHAST, CLTS and CHAST approaches. I will promote the use of CLTS in our program area to end the recurrent cases of Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) outbreaks. I recommend other people to attend this training in future if their aim is to end hygiene and sanitation problems in their areas of operation.”
