In Vietnam, $262 million per year of economic loss results from poor sanitation, a figure which includes costs of health care, productivity loss and premature death. In Oct 2010, GIFT collaborated with International Development Enterprises (IDE) to write a plan for the production and sales of low-cost household hand washing devices in rural Vietnam. This was part of the World Bank’s Water and Sanitation Programme (WSP) behaviour change initiative to promote handwashing with soap as a way to improve health and hygiene. During the field visit, participants worked closely with the Vietnam Women’s Union (WU), one of the largest and most influential government mass organisations in Vietnam. The programme research covers the current hygiene and sanitation conditions in rural Vietnam, the socio-economic importance of handwashing and why it is crucial for rural communities in developing countries to incorporate this as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Summary
¨
¨
¨
With
a
lack
of
hygiene
awareness
in
Vietnam
and
the
importance
of
the
proper
enabling
environment
to
drive
behavior
change,
the
proposed
enterprise
has
identified
a
market
opportunity
for
a
hand
washing
device
“HWD”
to
be
commercially
distributed
throughout
the
country.
Considering
a
target
market
initially
comprised
of
individuals
earning
US
$50-‐US$70/month,
the
device
will
be
marketed
as
an
essential
household
item
and
priced
at
US$6.
With
potential
strategic
partnerships
along
the
entire
supply
chain,
the
operation
is
forecasted
to
sell
975,000
units
over
the
next
5
years,
in
3
distinct
phases:
pilot,
growth
&
optimization,
and
expansion
stages.
4. Execu@ve
Summary

¨
¨
¨
A
mutually
beneficial
partnership
with
the
Vietnam
Women’s
Union
will
allow
the
device
to
gain
exposure
to
local
households
through
its
13
million
members,
whilst
providing
positive
social
and
monetary
value
in
return.
With
an
estimated
capital
requirement
of
US$
752,500
over
the
5
years,
the
potential
added
value
to
the
soap
market
is
projected
to
reach
over
US$3
million.
NPV
for
the
enterprise
is
estimated
at
US$50,000,
with
a
payback
period
of
7
years.
The
venture
is
expected
to
improve
the
living
standards
of
Vietnam’s
rural
communities,
while
providing
a
sustainable
business
model
for
the
success
of
all
stakeholders
involved.

7. Vietnam:

¨
¨
¨
70%
of
population
resides
in

Large
inequalities
exist
between
urban
and

areas
in

Public

(e.g.

¨
¨
¨
Lack
of
access
to

supply,
sanitation
and
hygiene
is
a
global
challenge
and
is
associated
with
2.2
million

world
In
Vietnam,
economic
costs
to
health
due
to
poor
sanitation
is
estimated
at
US$262
million
per
year
In

Vietnam
:

¤
58%

18%

9. Need
for
Hand
Washing
with
Soap
¨
¨
¨
Only
6.1%
of
people
practice
hand
washing
with
soap
before
eating
Similarly
low
percentages
of
people
wash
hands
with
soap
before
and
after
baby
changing,
handling
animals,
toilet
use
and
food
preparation
Effective
hand
washing
with
soap
in
Vietnam
would
reduce
the
annual
0.9
million
deaths
from
Scabies,
Helminthes,
Hepatitis
A
and
Trachoma
by
up
to
34%
Washing

10. Pandemic
Flu
Preven@on
¨
¨
¨
The
threat
of
pandemic
flu
is
ongoing
and
the
risks
to
countries
like
Vietnam
have
only
increased
with
high
population
densities
and
human-‐animal
contact.
Further
outbreaks
are
expected
over
the
next
five
years.
Global
studies
show
that
hand
washing
with
soap
when
handling
animals
is
critical
in
preventing
and
containing
infections.
Vietnam
is
one
of
a
handful
of
countries
that
has
the
highly
pathogenic
H5N1
avian
influenza.
One
of
the
key
messages
for
prevention
of
avian
flu
is
hand
washing
with
soap
The
need
for
hand
washing
with
soap
would
increase
exponentially
in
the
event
of
an
outbreak.

¨
In
