===Kenya: Changing WASH behaviours through game based learning===
For the initial project, WASH United provided the ‘software’ (behaviour-change trainings) and Sanergy the ‘hardware’ (toilets) part. After the project, Sanergy has started to build its own team to implement the software component. WASH United is currently training Sanergy staff to become hygiene trainers themselves.
'''The key lessons of the story:'''
WASH United is an international non-profit organisation that pioneers the use of fun, educational games, sport star ambassadors and strictly positive messages to increase the relevance of sanitation and hygiene and to facilitate behaviour change. WASH United designs and implements awareness raising campaigns and WASH in Schools programmes in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. WASH United believes that children are key agents of change. As children spend most of their time at school, this is the best place to learn good WASH behaviour.
===Sustainability Criteria===
'''Socio-cultural and institutional aspects:''' software and hardware parts complement each other through a cooperative approach between NGO and business.
