ACF began its hygiene promotion programs by distributing digging kits to help the people of Owak village build latrines, refuse pits, dish drying racks, and bathing shelters. Apart from the digging kits, the only items ACF distributed were a "SanPlat" latrine slab-the concrete cap for a new dugout latrine-and a "tippy tap" hand washing facility to improve sanitation. Beyond these distributed items, all of the construction materials, labor, and other inputs are provided by the participating households. Mrs. Oyella eagerly attended each hygiene session and was committed to developing a "complete package" of environmental sanitation facilities for her home.

With ACF's assistance, the Oyella family was able to dig and build a latrine and install a "tippy tap" hand washing facility. The "tippy tap" is a simple design involving a mounted plastic water jug that acts as a faucet when someone "tips" it by stepping on a wooden pedal (no hands needed). The facility is installed next to latrines to promote collective hygiene by eliminating the need to handle the plastic water jug after using the latrine. The impact is potentially huge: hand washing with soap helps curb half of diarrhea-related diseases.
