The Reducing Childhood Diarrhea (RCD) project in Xieng Khouang province, northern Laos combined community mobilization, education, and simple technologies to reduce the impact of diarrhea on children’s health. The project combined a behavioral change intervention proven to have impact in rural Lao communities – Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) – with a low cost approach to disease mapping. Community Health Technicians (CHTs) received training from World Education staff in basic epidemiology, WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) principles, data collection, and the use of GPS enabled mobile phones.
