WaterSHED Launches sanitation collaboration with the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation

On 24 February 2012, WaterSHED-Cambodia joined representatives from the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation and local government authorities in Battambang Province’s Samlout District to launch a joint program that will replicate WaterSHED’s innovative WASH marketing approach in their district. The purpose of the S.H.I.T. (Samlout Hygiene Improvement Team) program is to rapidly increase access to, and appropriate use of, improved latrines by households in the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation’s target areas by leveraging the resources and capabilities of both organizations and by working closely with local government. With priority given to Samlout District, the collaboration aims to expand sanitation marketing to all districts in Battambang Province by December 2014.
