Name: Mansoh

Lives: Warok, Plateau State, Nigeria

Age: 10  

Mansoh lives in a remote community in the Plateau state of Nigeria. WaterAid has been working in his school and Mansoh helps to teach his friends about the importance of keeping clean and being hygienic.

“We had a few latrines before, but there was not enough, and we had to go into the bush. Now, more latrines have been built.

“I am proud to be the Head of the Hygiene Club,” says Mansoh, “the Club is good for me and very important. I often sing the song we learned about washing my hands, even in my head. I know now that washing my hands is very important. Once you know about hygiene it is very difficult to get sick.”

WaterAid’s vision is a world where everyone has access to safe water and sanitation. Currently one in eight people across the world does not have safe drinking water. To help us and for more information please visit www.wateraid.org/learnzone.
