Cholera Mitigation Case Study
Community Health Clubs were started in Mutare, Zimbabwe in an effort to combat the rapid spread of Cholera in Zimbabwe in 2009. This is an inspiring account of how well mobilised women were able to role back this deadly threat and prevent any daths from cholera in this high risk area. The paper presented at IWA Conference in Mexico 2009, also includes an example from Uganda where overcrowding and poor sanitation in IDP Camps was similarly addressed through Community Health Clubs.

Zimbabwe Case Study
A short summary of hygiene behaviour change in Zimbabwe, updating from the ground breaking early projects in 2001 in Tsholtsho, to recent projects in Chipinge where similat levels of change are being recorded. It points a way forward as to how the MDGs can be achieved by scaling up the CHC approach as is being done in Rwanda and Vietnam where the model is being institutionalised within the Ministry of Health.

Uganda IDP Case Study – pdf download
In 2005 Community Health Clubs were started in IDP Camps in Northern Uganda, where numerous NGOs had been trying to introduce safer sanitation for the past 18 years in one of the worst ongoing conflicts in Africa. Inspite of much sceptism that nothing could be done to aleviate this chronic public health situation, the 120 CHCs managed to achieve unheard of changes in the camps, with the most convincing indicator being the construction by the community of over 11,000 latrines in eight months, not only meeting but exceeding ambitious targets. If ever there was a proof of the effectiveness of CHC to create a demand for sanitation this case study is it!
