Our approach stimulates community behaviour change for better WASH, improved food security and nutrition, and essential care for mother and child health.  This is done by: - Raising awareness on healthy behaviours through peer to peer learning with caregivers, using community support groups and volunteer mentors, community courtyard sessions, and in schools targeting youth. This creates an increased demand for quality products and services to make those healthy behaviours possible. - Improving access to affordable WASH & nutrition products and services in communities and households by strengthening entrepreneurship. - Improving  the  consistent supply  and  diversity  of  food  and  nutrition, for instance through encouraging homestead gardening Beyond using growth monitoring data of children under five, we use an approach that builds on Community Led Total Sanitation, with a strong focus on nutrition sensitive hygiene, to trigger communities to sustainably improve their WASH quality, nutritional status, and food hygiene.  Many programme elements link to maternal and child health, such as exclusive and complementary breastfeeding and ensuring ante- and post-natal care for mothers. Max Healthy Villages are officially designated by local government and community leaders once they meet criteria for behaviours related to water use, waste and excreta disposal and good practices for child health, nutrition and Sexual and Reproductive Health, and maintain them for one year.
