Abstract
Over the last year, the USAID Uganda Sanitation for Health Activity (USHA) has worked with the 37 households in the village to change household hygiene and sanitation norms and guide the village to improve their sanitation status. Through partnership with local leaders, Tegweng village is now Open Defecation Free (ODF) - a significant milestone in improving the health and wellbeing of those who call the village home, and more especially, for the dignity and better quality of life of women.
