About the project
WASH Education for children
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Education for Children has been designed to provide children in various daycare centers in Tanay, Rizal Province the opportunity to learn basic information about sanitation and hygiene. IGEEI is working with 19 day care centers in Tanay, Rizal province and developed a WASH Education Manual that could be completed within 10 days or shorter.
The WASH Education module utilizes participatory activities that are fun, creative and enjoyable for children age between 4-6 years old. Optimizing non-formal education strategies, the module allows integration of intercultural learning by introducing various activities and games for children to stimulate their imaginations and learn more about the international participant’s cultures and traditions.
💼 What the programme involves
International Workcampers will implement several activities each day in a rotating basis. This will allow all workcampers to experience facilitating the activities directly and building their confidence in public speaking and dealing with children. Each day, international and local workcampers will discuss strategies and activities each day as well as evaluating each day.
1. Facilitating and Implementing non-formal, participatory, creative and fun activities for day care children and students.
2. Preparing materials for the activities and games for kids.
3. Participants will be divided into various groups in a rotating basis (a) Cleaner, (b) Cooking, (c) Facilitators and (d) Market team.
4. Meeting the parents/teachers and members of the community where the day care center is located to share their culture with them.
5. Share different traditions from your country such as games, drawing, dance, food among others during activities and the cultural night.
6. One day will be dedicated for intercultural night, please bring something from your country to share, bringing your national dress is highly recommended.
🏠 Accommodation on site
All participants will stay in IGEEI Dormitory. Each room can accommodate 6 participants in the room with private toilet. Male and Female will stay on separate rooms.
Double deck beds are provided with bed and linens. Participants should bring their own blanket and towels. Basic toiletries are not provided so participants should bring their own such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, tissues etc. or they may buy it once they arrive in the workcamp venue.
The room is very simple with basic facilities and we expect that participants will be able to adjust to these humble set up.
Private Toilet is available in each room without hot water or shower. In the Philippines it is a normal practice the use of “Bucker and Dipper” for washing the body. This is also very cultural and common in Southeast Asia.
A small table and basic kitchen utensils are available in each room. Basic cooking facilities are also provided in each room.
🍲 Food
Three meals in a day will be provided (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) in most cases Filipino food are provided. But participants will divide the tasks to prepare their food together and plan their meal properly with the given budget. This is a fun and exciting activities with assistance from the local participants.
Lunch in most cases will be packed in lunch boxes because participants will be in remote locations where the day care centers are located.
Dinner venue may change from time to time depending on schedule but mostly hosted by one family in the community or where the participants is staying.
📍 About the location
The venue is in Tanay, Rizal Province approximately 3 hours away from Manila depending on traffic. Tanay is an upland rural area famous for hiking, caves and river natural wonders.

During weekends participants will have their free time, they may decide to travel together in some places within Tanay. The location being an upland means there are no near beaches in the area. We recommend that they do this after the workcamp proper.
Please take note that free time is not covered by the participation fee. This can be shouldered by the participants themselves, we recommend that the participants bring at least 10,000 Pesos (200 USD) as their pocket money.
