Abstract: Latrine possession, disposal of children's faeces and waste-water in 1015 households in 33 sites in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda were studied in 1997.

These factors have been shown in other African studies to be an important risk factor for diarrhoeal illness in young children (Tumwine et al 2002(Tumwine et al , 2003. Therefore, schools should incorporate interventions that promote hygienic defecation and stool clearance practices.…”
