Project Examples Directory

These project examples are based upon a series of building block activities called Evidence-Based Best Practices. These activities provide effective grassroots solutions to needs identified by rural communities.

Complementary activities are combined into families of activities called projects.

Select from individual activities on this website when designing a project, or come here, to the Project Examples Directory, for pre-integrated project ideas.

	Preventing Diarrhea in Children: What's First?.  Tier 1 Activities. Diarrheal disease kills 1.8 million children under five in developing nations each year. Hand washing can reduce diarrhea in children by 53% and point-of-use water treatment  by as much as 83%.
	Preventing Diarrhea in Children: What's Next? Tier 2 activities take longer to implement, can be more difficult for beneficiaries to understand and adopt, and they can be more expensive  than Tier 1 activities — but they work.

Families can have a successful first-year garden, even if small. We will discuss the importance of planting nutritious, vitamin A rich, local vegetables.
