Shamoli, 25, her son Durjoy, 1, and their Guldor family in Tildanga Village, Khulna District, southwest Bangladesh, used to suffer from water-borne diseases regularly – the only water source they could access was a nearby pond, where they and others would bathe themselves in addition to gathering drinking water. Recently, a development program called Nobo Jatra – implemented by World Vision Bangladesh and funded by U.S. foreign assistance – provided the family with a hygienic latrine, a tank for harvesting rain water, and even a baby potty. The family was also given Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) sessions in order to train on maintaining their new latrine and tank, as well as learn sustainable hygiene practices like handwashing. Toddler Durjoy Golder, 1, and his family live in a house in the Khulna District of southeast Bangladesh. His mother, Shamoli, cares for Durjoy, who’s not yet 2, and his 5-year-old sister Sruti. His father, Sanjoy, works as a night guard at a fish hatchery. But it wasn’t enough to get by: The Golders weren’t able to afford nutritious food, their latrine was unhygienic, and their water was collected from a nearby pond – it wasn’t safe to drink. They washed their bodies in the same pond, and as a result, their skin would occasionally peel or develop rashes. “We were frequently caught with water-borne diseases, especially diarrhea,” says Shamoli. “I could not go into the latrine, the smell was so bad.” Sadly, the Golder’s situation isn’t uncommon. In the developing world, there is a persistent need for better water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). This holds true in Bangladesh, where the World Health Organization estimates that 15 percent of all post-neonatal deaths in children with 1-59 months of age are caused by diarrheal diseases. Cultural norms in the Golder’s area make the situation even more difficult: About half of all
