Marie-Antoinette de Veth, member of the board of VAM
VAM is involved in the developing of the program of the women vocational school in Bandiagara - Mali.
Every pupil is obliged to follow also the modules: water, hygiene and sanitation.
Now I am collecting material/experiences for developing a curriculum concerning water, sanitation and hygiene to make it applicable for the women vocational school.
So I want to ask you members of the community of VIA.Water and other partners if they have this material.
I intend to go to Mali, this summer, to work with the manager and teachers of the school, so it would be fine if I can receive the material and experiences of others.
