Establishing Routine Hygiene Practices

By Zachery Onyango | Project Leader

Establishing Routine Hygiene Practices at Boda Boda Stages

Your support is helping create lasting behavior change at boda boda stages—one of the busiest and most critical points of daily interaction.

Before this intervention, hygiene practices at these stages were minimal, despite constant contact between riders and passengers. With your help, we have:

  • Installed handwashing stations at key transport hubs
  • Reached riders with targeted awareness and prevention training
  • Encouraged routine handwashing between trips

Today, many riders have adopted handwashing as part of their daily routine. Passengers are also increasingly using the facilities, particularly at well-established stages.

Some locations are now recording hundreds of uses daily, demonstrating strong uptake and acceptance.

This routine behavior change is significantly reducing transmission risk in one of the most dynamic movement networks in the community.

Your support is not just providing facilities—it is changing habits, protecting livelihoods, and helping ensure safer movement for thousands of people every day.
