چکیده
Lack of improved hygiene environment is one of the main risk factors of diarrhea and pneumonia among children aged under five in the world. These diseases are leading causes of death among them. In Kenya, located in the sub-Saharan Africa region, the health of ECD children is neglected. Diarrhea and pneumonia account for approximately one-third of under-five deaths. Changing hygiene practices and environment have been regarded as keys to protecting children’s health. The objectives of this study are threefold. First, this study will examine whether the training on hygiene practices for ECD teachers is effective in improving hygiene practices and health outcomes of ECD children. Second, it will examine the association between hygiene practices and health outcomes of ECD children. Third, it will examine the factors associated with hygiene practices of ECD teachers, hygiene practices and health outcomes of ECD children.
