UGANDA. Amuria. 2008“I have lived here for a long time. I moved here from Wila - not far. I came to escape the fighting during the 1985 civil war. It was not easy coming here, I had to run through the bush. I had torn skin and clothes. I arrived with nothing, not even a change of clothes. I didn’t know anybody when I arrived. The first night I arrived I slept in the primary school, I spent one month there and then I built a house. Now I work in people’s gardens which I use to buy food. I alternate work and rest days. Today is a rest day.

I am appreciating the hygiene education process. The compounds are clean, the smell is gone, the air is clean, everything is better. Before the latrine the children used to go everywhere- the smell was so bad you couldn’t sit anywhere. You would be chased out by the smell in one minute!”
