 With support from the United Agency for International Development (USAID) thru CARE International Indonesia, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Center for Communication Programs (CCP) in Indonesia designed and implemented a two-month hygiene improvement program aimed at reducing diarrheal disease among communities in the tsunami affected districts of Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar, Indonesia. The purpose of the program was to promote and increase awareness on hand washing with soap behaviors among internally displaced persons (IDPs), especially mothers and children in barracks and camps, were the primary target audience.
