The document discusses using Village Health and Nutrition Day (VHND) events to promote water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices in rural communities. VHND events provide an opportunity each month for mothers and children to access basic health services in one location. The platform can be used to educate attendees on safe drinking water, personal hygiene, home hygiene, sanitation, and menstrual hygiene management. Institutions hosting VHND events should have clean environments with safe water, functioning toilets, and handwashing facilities. Four key behaviors are promoted: using safe drinking water, stopping open defecation, washing hands with soap, and safely disposing of child excreta.
