In Kenya at the Hagadera refugee camp, local hygiene promoters from the Somali refugee population are active in promoting the importance of good hygiene practices. The hygiene promoters work with UNICEF using a strategy which includes working to continually improve hygiene practices. The hygiene promoters are active in schools and are assisting the population in developing themselves. They reinforce positive behavioural change through daily contact with the refugee population. UNICEF provides ongoing support through the ongoing provision of hygiene items and the ongoing training of hygiene promoters to lead behaviour change as a vital barrier to disease.
