Abstract

Our findings indicate that health education initiatives targeting younger demographics should be intensified to enhance awareness of cholera prevention and household water treatment. Furthermore, there is a need for targeted interventions to provide public standpipes and community boreholes, as well as to improve the coverage of covered pit latrines, especially for poorer households.
