Drinking safe water
Even if households have access to safe water (safe water = free from microbiological or chemical contaminants), several obstacles might prevent them from drinking safe water:
-
They prefer to go to the unsafe well because they are used to it, or it is nearer, or the water is cheaper
-
They collect safe water, but their transportation and storage containers or their drinking devices are unsafe
-
They do not use any water disinfection technique
We analyze the psychosocial and contextual drivers of not performing these behaviors and develop interventions focusing on exactly these drivers.
