Royal Roads University and its partner Transform International (Canada) tested an innovative solution to improve water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in healthcare facilities (HFC) in Malawi, specifically for women since they constitute the majority of the HCF users, often for delivery and postpartum recovery.

This project focused on the STREAMS (systems, training, education, and monitoring support) approach by combining WASH best practices and two circuit riders to implement, support and sustain WASH infrastructure and improved behaviours and practices.

The following clip from the Innovation team explores their work with STREAMS in Rumphi District:
