Read moreThe ‘Sanitation Scribes’ initiative between Shishu Sarothi and Thumbprint Foundation, supported by UNICEF Assam is a unique one that aims to bring into focus issues around Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) in Assam. Achievement of WASH targets including elimination of open defecation and availability of safe drinking water, depends to a large extent on creating awareness and sensitization among communities for which it is critical to make WASH issues an acceptable and urgent ‘talking point’ in the public discourse. Media plays an important role in raising relevant issues, and increasing public consciousness and acceptability of certain issues.
In this context, the role of Sanitation Scribes will be crucial to bring hitherto non-prioritised issues in mainstream discourse. Sanitation Scribes is a group of sensitized and committed journalists who have been writing proactively on sanitation issues. In this section, we will be sharing WASH related updates, success stories, issues on a regular basis. We look forward to engaging with you on this platform.
