Considerable improvements in sanitation and household amenities have also materialized. The use of latrines has nearly doubled, affecting community sanitation, hygiene and food safety. More than half of the families targeted by the project are now using proper garbage disposal techniques (compared to 8% in 2005) and most have put up shelves for food storage. More and more children are also washing their hands before meals.

Whereas in 2005 only 47% of households had access to safe potable water, more than 77% of these households now obtain their drinking water from protected water sources. Furthermore, as a result of new water points, the average time that women spend on fetching water has dropped substantially.

The use of family planning services has also risen dramatically. The care provided to pregnant women has improved significantly during the life of the project. While only 14% of pregnant women had been vaccinated at the time of the baseline survey, 92% had been vaccinated at the time of the follow-up survey. The provision of care to women during childbirth has also improved and women are taking better care of their toddlers.
