ORGANIZATION’S PROFILE

SAF-TESO is a local Non Governmental Organization that was registered in the year 2016 with a vision of
addressing the issue of poverty among the poor and marginalized members of the community in Teso
Uganda .

Mission statement:

SAF-TESO works together with the poor and marginalized members of the community in Teso Uganda to
reduce poverty and improve the standards of living through the utilization of local resources to create
sustainable wealth.

SAF-TESO has worked in the last 8 years, contributing to poverty reduction through the implementation
of a range of community based projects in the area of health, Water and Sanitation, Sustainable
Agriculture, education, and small economic activity development.

In the sector of health, the organization has been implementing water and sanitation projects with a
mission of reducing the rates of morbidity and mortality through improving communities’ access to safe
drinking water and sanitation facilities. It has achieved this, through construction of Classrooms, Rain
water tanks, VIP latrines in schools and eco-san latrines in schools, protection of springs and wells and
construction of household latrines in villages, hygiene education in schools using CTC( Child to child )
and PHAST( Participatory Hygiene and Sanitation Transformation) methodology and hygiene promotion
in villages using PHAST methodology. HIV/AIDS being a national disaster in the country it’s a cross
cutting issue in all SAF-TESO programs and has been trying to create awareness on HIV/AIDS through
training youth and CHW, distribution of condoms/T-Shirts, IEC materials of HIV/AIDS.

It exists to work with the most poor and marginalized members of the communities to reduce poverty
through utilization of resources in a sustainable manner. It does this by strengthening the capacity of
local individuals, groups and communities in projects that concern them so that they can own and
manage them more effectively at the completion period.

Currently the organization has a total of 15 staff; 7 female and 8 male. The organization also believes in
developing capacity of young community development professionals and through this there are 5
volunteers 3 female and 2 male.

The key result areas of the organization are:

 Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
 HIV and Aids Awareness
 Sustainable agriculture
 Women and youth entrepreneurship
 Promoting good governance

The management comprises of the executive director and programme coordinator who are qualified
and competent enough. For the human resource the organization has a programme coordinator who
has a degree in social work, a finance manager who has a degree in bachelor of commerce and other
line managers and field officers with various degrees and diplomas.
The organization structure is as from; Board of directors, Executive director, Programme coordinator,
line managers, field staffs and subordinate staff. The organization collaborates with government line
ministries like ministry of health, ministry of education, ministry of water, ministry of planning and
devolution and ministry of agriculture at the districts level. They assist the organization in the technical
issues, community mobilization and advocacy.
Summary of the innovative strategy

Local context description

SAF-TESO works within Karamoja and Teso province in Uganda with the aim of improving the living
standards of the poor and marginalized members of the community. It is associated with different
sectors which include, WASH, environmental conservation, food insecurity, HIV/AIDS and gender,
governance and women empowerment.

Access to safe and adequate water supply and sanitation services is the basic human rights of all
humankind. These services are a key to development in many dimensions. The combination of safe
drinking water, adequate sanitation and hygiene are recognized as being fundamental to human well-
being.

Water is one of the basic necessities of life. Safe water is especially critical for children, who are most
vulnerable to water related diseases. SAF-TESO works in impoverished areas to provide potable water
and sanitation to decrease illness, improve health, and lessen the burden on women and children by
reducing the distance to water collection points.

Sanitation can be understood as interventions that reduce human exposure to diseases by providing a
clean environment in which to live. It involves both behaviors and facilities, which work together to form
a hygienic environment.

Sanitation is essential to survival and development of children. Currently, there are 2.4billion people
worldwide who do not use improved sanitation (a facility that that safely separates human waste from
human contact). 946million people go in the open, known as “open defecation”. While progress has
been made to improve access to sanitation in some parts of the world, millions of children in poor and
rural areas have been left behind.

The main task of this project is to provide adequate WASH facilities and services, to empower the
communities in properly managing and utilization of the available water potential efficiently and
effectively in a sustainable manner. The major activities and outputs include mobilization and
organization of communities, hygiene and sanitation education, training and capacity building,
construction of safe water supply schemes and sanitation facilities, monitoring and evaluation, and
provision of operation and maintenance training.

The project aims to provide WASH services to a total of 4500 school going children as well as 2000
community members neighboring the targeted primary schools

Goal

To improve health and educational opportunities for children and communities in the remote regions of
Karamoja constituency, through the implementation of safe water use and sanitary human waste
disposal practices.

Objectives

1. To increase access to adequate safe drinking water through construction of safe water supply
schemes.

To improve the water, sanitation and hygiene conditions of marginalized remote primary

health workers in CTLTS and water management.

9. Meticulous social mobilization at the grass root level and increase community
engagement

This will seek to facilitate change through a range of stakeholders engaged in

interrelated and complementary efforts

Ensure participation of the community member in decision making in relation to the

project activity

Provide technical support including training, networking and information exchange

 Continuous advocacy and promotion for more partnerships to secure political
commitment and mobilize additional resources.

10. Raising awareness of communities in WASH related issues and producing IEC
(Information, Education and Communication) Materials in this regard.

11. Prepare progress report on the implementation

12. Encourage and support monitoring and evaluation activities

ACTIVITY 1 - Community Mobilization and Sensitization

The project will start with assessment of the water and sanitation situation in specific locations within
Karamoja South Districts.

The objectives of this assessment are-:

 To select exact locations for project interventions in collaboration with the districts and
Sanitation Management committees ( ensuring an evenness in access to water and sanitation
services)
 To sensitize communities to the project’s objectives and the need for community contribution
 To sensitize communities to the project’s implementation process
 Provide a benchmark against which project performance can be monitored

Locations selected for intervention will meet the following criteria:

 Areas of high infant mortality rates

 Poor sanitation coverage
 Low access to safe water supplies
 High incidences of diarrheal diseases
 Inaccessibility and remoteness of the area

Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) exercises embracing Participatory Planning Monitoring and
Evaluation (PPM&E) will be carried out at location level to determine community priorities and facilitate
selection of schools for project implementation. The process will involve extension staff from key
ministries i.e. Water, health, Culture and Social services, Education, and agriculture as well as active
community Based Organisations. Villages will select/elect representatives to these teams. Between 15-
30 persons will be involved in the exercise at this level.
After the location PRA meetings referred to above, stakeholder meetings are held with communities to
approve/amend the recommendations from PRAs. The stakeholders meetings enable communities to
own project activities and are a key stage in the mobilization of community contributions required
before any construction work begins. Overall project implementation strategies are also discussed at
this forum.

Water and Sanitation Management Committees (WSMCs) will be formed after this process with
minimum half members being women. Community Resources persons will be identified to coordinate
and facilitate implementation of activities at village level. Key tasks of the WSMCs will be to prepare
Water and sanitation Resource Management plans

RESULT Of Activity 1: Safe water supplies effectively used and maintained by schools.

Selection of PRA teams’ motivation and training them for action and gender analysis
updated

This shall be formed at the location level at the beginning of the project, through community members
selecting a committee of 15 people who are representatives of villages. In these committees, there will
also be area leaders, field staff of other NGOs, CBOs and relevant line ministries operating in this area
sitting on them. These committees shall consist of between 15 to 30 persons in total, consisting of at
least 50% of female representatives. The specific results shall be-:

 A location work plan indicating details of sites to be constructed done and presented to a
public meeting for all the community members to approve/amend their recommendation
 The roles of committees in mobilization of community contributions required for construction
so as the activities are owned by the community clearly spelled out
 The Field Officers and Committees discussed the implementation strategies of the project with
the community members.
 Committees acting as the medium for ensuring a social climate for cooperation and collective
actions for water and sanitation resource management
 Committees documenting process in order to help build strong institutional memory
 Committees to act as a linkage between SAF-TESO and other relevant ministries within the
project
 Committees coordinating and networking with neighboring villages
 Receiving reports from WSMC & CHWs and reporting to SAF-TESO and line Ministries
 Updating gender analysis and proposals for amended activities of the action

Risks for activity 1:

Many meetings being postponed due to other social and economically events within the communities

Measure foreseen for activity 1:

Involve all the stakeholders in all planning meetings at the location levels. Come up with calendar of
events for and seasonal calendar for each location.

ACTIVITY 2- Construction and Management of Water points

Rainwater Catchments tanks

The project will construct high quality Ferro – cement water tanks in schools. Rainfall in the project
areas is high, making it available technology in the provision of water supply. Tank sizes will be 50, 000
litres. The construction of tank will take 20 days.

Identified schools for this intervention will have to provide a significant contribution in form of labour
and materials. This contribution will be 25% of the tanks total cost. Contribution from the communities
will be locally available materials, such as sand, ballast, hardcore, poles, unskilled labour, food and
accommodation for artisans, transport costs of gutters and for artisans. SAF-TESO will provide the
hardware materials (ordinary Portland cement, water proof cement, binding wire, BRC wire No. 66, sisal
twine, nails, gutters/accessories, bondex, gate valve, manhole cover, scour system) and also pay for
skilled labour. SAF-TESO has well- developed procedures for ensuring that schools make their
contribution prior to the initiation of any construction activity.

Each school will nominate a caretaker to be trained on operational and maintenance aspects. All the
schools will be issued with operational and maintenance manuals.

Self help youth groups with skills in construction will be used to undertake construction of water and
sanitation facilities. SAF-TESO has developed the skills of 5 fundi groups over the past 5 years. Ten
percent of the fundi group’s fees for construction are withheld for up to 12 months after construction so
as to serve as a surety should any technical problems develop with water point, which need to be fixed
with fundis. The school parents or villagers are responsible for provision of locally available materials i.e.
bricks, hardcore, sand ballast, poles, unskilled labour, transport for fundis as well as food and
accommodation.

ACTIVITY 3- Construction and management of village/school facilities for safe

waste disposal

The project will improve sanitation facilities in the project area, as a support to the other two
interventions i.e. water and hygiene promotion. Sanitation needs for households and schools will be
addressed through proven low –cost technology options on a cost – sharing basis. Communities will
choose from a menu of appropriate technology options. Replication capacity will be developed in each
village through participatory training and construction of demonstration latrines.

Village Sanitation

The project will embark on increasing communities’ access to sanitation facilities by encouraging
communities to upgrade and improve their existing household sanitation facilities on a cost sharing
basis. Communities will identify their preferred options using PHAST tools i.e. sanitation ladder, village
baseline maps and general status of sanitation facilities as observed during the PRA process at village
level.

Communities will contribute locally available materials towards the construction of the construction
facilities e.g. sand, ballast, hardcore. Joint collection of these materials will reduce costs. The project will
provide cement, reinforcement bars, moulds and training. Key community resource persons will be
trained to ensure quality work is achieved and for the maintenance purposes.

It is envisaged that trough the upgrading of local skills and sanitation awareness the project will result in
access to sanitation increase to 75% of the population in the project areas.

Institutional Sanitation

For all sanitation facilities constructed in institutions, the project will provide the hardware materials for
the latrine slab and the community will provide materials for the unskilled labour. The project
contribution will be 75% of the total cost of the sanitation facilities provided to schools. A maximum of
6-door eco-san latrines will be provided per school. A total of 42 eco-san latrines are expected to be
constructed in the project. The CTC health clubs will encourage hand washing after latrine use by
applying school sanitation and hygiene education (SSHE). The school committee or CTC task force will do
maintenance of the school latrines.

Construction of girls separate washrooms in schools.

Girl child health concern has been neglected for many years particularly in Africa for many years. this
has disadvantaged them when it comes to education and performance as Many of them drop out of
school in primary level and others stay at home during menstrual periods due to lack of private sanitary
facilities for girls. The project has an uphill task to ensure these facilities are considered equally
important in schools. The project will construct 7 2-door separate washrooms in 7 schools. This facility
will be used by girls to change and wash during menstrual periods. The project will contribute to 65% of
materials i.e. cement, iron sheets, roofing nails wire nails, shutters and the skilled labor. The school on
the other hand will contribute 35% of the materials i.e. stones, ballast, sand, bricks, unskilled labor and
accommodation for artisans.

Results for activity 3- Behavior Improvements recorded in schools and

communities
 300 CHWs identified and trained on hygiene done within project locations in one year
 Hygiene promotion impact conducted within project locations in one year
 42 eco-san latrines constructed in 7 schools in one year

Risks for activity 3:

Taboos and traditions hinder use of latrines as required especially at the household’s e.g. sharing of
latrine between father in law and daughter in law.

Measures foreseen for activity 3:

During PRAs meetings, traditional and taboos of each area shall be discussed and this shall be addressed
while training all community health workers who will as a result educate the communities during
household visits.

Activity 5: Health and hygiene education

Health and hygiene promotion will be a key feature of the project. SAF-TESO’s experience in the sector
has enabled it to perfect a number of approaches to health and hygiene promotion and to understand
its vital role as a complementary activity to water point construction. SAF-TESO has seen significant
improvements with hygiene standards where water point construction has been coupled with hygiene
training compared to where it has been a stand a long intervention

The health and hygiene promotion will be in 4 areas:

1. School health - At schools where tanks are constructed

2. Village Health – In villages where the project is ongoing

3. Girl child sanitation structures – in schools where eco-san latrines and washrooms are constructed

4. Girl Child sanitary materials – in schools where 1,200 sanitary towels will be provided

School health

Hygiene promotion is to be addressed in schools through the formation of school health clubs. Child to
Child (CTC) and (CHAST) methodology will be adopted for promotion of hygiene education in schools.
The process will enable children to participate actively in hygiene education in school and also at home,
therefore minimizing the risk of contracting water borne diseases and changing their hygiene behaviour
and attitudes at an early stage.

Head teachers, Public health officers and Education Officers will be oriented on school health aspects
and concepts of CTC and (CHAST) to divisional levels. These will be necessary for them to provide the
required support during the implementation of the school health activities.

Each school will select 2 school health coordinators who will be trained on the implementation of the
school hygiene process by utilizing the CTC and (CHAST) methodology. Public Health Technicians will also
take part in the teachers CTC orientation. This is so that a link is made between them and the school so
that they are called upon as resource persons in the future. The trained teachers will then have the
responsibility of forming school health clubs and coordinating hygiene promotion with assistance from
other teachers in the school. Schools will prepare hygiene implementation plans with involvement of
children in all the classes. Dissemination of hygiene messages will be through picketing, drama, poems,
songs and demonstrations. Participatory hygiene and sanitation for transformation (PHAST) materials
will also be used by school children in schools within the targeted villages will involved in hygiene
promotion activities.

Competitions on school health activities and exchange visits will be done periodically to enhance
children participation and motivation in hygiene education, and to encourage the lessons from the most
advanced schools to be learnt by others.

Village Hygiene Promotion

Training of community members in hygiene education is vital in reducing the occurrence of water
related diseases and in enhancing the use of water and sanitation facilities. Participatory hygiene and
sanitation for Transformation (PHAST) approach will be used for implementation of village level hygiene
promotion.

The project will train water and Sanitation Management Committees (WSMCs) to develop their skills in
management and coordination of activities at village level. WSMC training will take 4 days, including a 1
– day site. Each training course will cover four WSMCs and one project. Participatory methods, will be
used during the trainings.

In addition to the formation of the WSMCs, two community Health Workers (CHWs) will be selected by
the community in each village and will be trained on PHAST methodology.

Once the CHWs are trained, each will target up to 70 households to visit in order to discuss hygiene
problem with household members. WSMCs will organize meetings for health discussion in the villages
which will be facilitated by CHWs, using PHAST tools which will enable each household to prepare action
plans designed to improve hygiene practices and behaviour. Review meetings among the CHWs will be
done to share experience in the implementation of village hygiene promotion activities.

Water and Sanitation Committees will provide the relevant support and follow- ups required by CHWs.
Village maps will be updated by the WSMCs which will enable the community to monitor their own
hygiene improvements.

Results for activity 5

 300 CHWs trained and promoting hygiene education within communities

 7 head teachers and 14 teachers trained in establishment of and running health clubs in schools
 7 child to child clubs established and disseminating hygiene education in schools and
communities through drama, songs and poems
 Improved hygiene behaviour in schools and communities

Risks for activity 5

Demand for payment of services of the WSMC and CHWs while working for the communities

Transfer of trained teachers on CTC methodology immediately after training.

Measures foreseen for activity 5

It shall be stressed right from the beginning that for one to become a WSMC member or a CHW, he/she
must understand it is a volunteering service unto their community. Also they should consider the
certificate and knowledge they get from the project as a personal gain.

Ensure that the trained teachers also trained others within their schools and involve them in running of
the CTC clubs. Speak with the District education officer not to transfer these teachers for certain period
of time.

Target area: Karamoja Constituency, 5 schools

Target groups:

4,500 primary school going children in the target area

200 school directors and teachers

Parents and Teachers Associations with the aim of outreach to the communities

Community health care workers within the targeted community

APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

The child friendly school projects first step is to improve the hygienic situation of 7schools in the vicinity
of Karamoja where hygienic circumstances are at an all time low. In order to reduce the overall
vulnerability of the local population to water related diseases, the project will strengthen capacities at
two levels:

1. At the local schools, the water borne diseases will be reduced to a minimum through the
provision of both hard and software. The awareness raising campaigns will start at the schools
and involve teaching and administrative staff as well as pupils.

2. Families will be reached by two channels i) the pupils ii) setting up of committees

By using participatory methodologies and making use of different communication channels, a maximum
exposure of the local population to the project can be achieved.

JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT

The access to drinking water and sanitation is a human right. Nevertheless, In Karamoja Districts, this
service continues to be a luxury for large parts of the rural population: on average, only 50% of the
districts’s population has access to safe water supply, and 20% use an improved sanitation facility that is
public or shared with others. Where as 10% of the households have a place for hand washing.

Most of the schools lack adequate basic hygiene and sanitation facilities where by the ratio of latrine
per pupil is averagely 50 girls per latrine and 60 boys per latrine, against the WHO standards of 25 girls
and 30 boys per latrine. Thus, improving access to water and sanitation is a high priority and several
studies suggest that this will have a significant impact on the health and development of the country.

The proposed project will be carried out in Karamoja constituency. The specific schools will be selected
by the local authorities for the WASH intervention project, during the first phase of the project, in
cooperation with the project team. In total, the project will directly involve 4500 primary school
children, 200 teachers and 1000 community members.

Being one of the marginalized sub-counties in Uganda access to water and sanitation services in
Karamoja districtsis among the lowest in the region. This sanitation has negative impacts on many levels,
among others, on economic and health situation of the population. Karamoja has high morbidity rates
and high levels of mortality due to water related diseases.

The inadequate access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation services, combined with
inadequate hygiene practices lead to high levels of water borne diseases in the project region. Many
people drink from surface water source (rivers, springs and wells) which are heavily contaminated by
faecal bacteria. Even in schools where water distribution networks exist, the water usually is not treated
or just partly treated.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND CONTRIBUTION

Community demand, involvement, contribution and ownership are the key features of the intervention
which ensures sustainability of the WASH facilities and services in all aspects. Such contributions are
expected and would be measured on concrete terms as described in the following ways where consent
agreement will also be made during the implementation process. The contributions include:

 Information provision in all aspects of the process including guiding and data stipulation.

 Time allocation for hygiene and sanitation promotion and training.

 Venue and store provision for operation

 Provision of local materials, stone, sand, and wood.

 Unskilled labour provis

 ion: excavation and backfilling pipeline trench work , loading and unloading of materials
  Election of representatives for the management of scheme through 50% women involvement in
decision making positions of the WASH committee.

 Financial contributions for scheme operation and maintenance as well as future cost recovery.
Through SAF-TESO facilitation as appreciate each household accessing water services will pay for
the water they use.

Monitoring and Evaluation

The monitoring and evaluation strategy employed in this project will be participatory whereby all
stakeholders of the programme are involved in monitoring of the project intervention from inception to
handing over and phasing out. The staff, the community beneficiary and government officers involved in
the programme will be trained on M&E tools and milestones in the project.
Support will be provided by SAF-TESO’S monitoring and evaluation team which will provide
backstopping support to the core projects team at their respective geographical location.

Project staff at the community level will be responsible for the day to day monitoring of the project.
Programme coordinator will oversee the field level implementation as well as ensure strategic direction
and compliance with policy and donor requirements.

For the day-to-day implementation of the programme at school level, implementation and monitoring
committees will therefore be established. These committees consist of the following members:

School Headteacher
 Teachers

Community representative

Parents

Community Health Worker

SAF-TESO staff

Project achievements and results will be assessed and reported against on a quarterly and annual basis
in line with the proposed objectives, indicators and detailed activities.

Monitoring of the project will include the collection of primary data as well as secondary data during
project implementation. The collection of primary data will be achieved through gathering and storage
of routine project information.

In addition to giving follow-up to the education and construction activities, the committee will keep a
record on the health statistics/absentees in the school. This will allow them to monitor the health
impact of the programme, as well as, will quickly show the need for corrective measures if considered
necessary. Frequency of meetings: every two months.

A comprehensive final evaluation will be conducted at the end of the project. This will determine the
extent of which the project has achieved its specified objectives, and will be conducted by an external
consultant with SAF-TESO’S participation. Documented results and lessons will be shared extensively
with SAF-TESO’S partners and other interested stakeholders. The results of the evaluation will be
incorporated into the key projects documents that will be shared with the donor.
