In August 2013, SPRING and Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) formally launched the Nigeria Community and Facility Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) Package for its use in uniform training and information sharing throughout Nigeria.
In Bangladesh, absent or inconveniently located handwashing stations hinder the uptake of handwashing practices at the household level, which are important for preventing illnesses that affect nutritional status. In response, SPRING has introduced household "tippy taps" to rural Bangladesh. A tippy tap is a simple, water-saving handwashing device that increases the availability of clean water for handwashing at significant points around the household.
Handwashing with soap at critical times prevents families from getting diarrhea and other diseases. “Tippy taps” are simple (and usually free) devices that serve as a convenient access point for water and a visual reminder to wash one’s hands at crucial times.
