The Hygiene Improvement Project (HIP)The Hygiene Improvement Project (HIP) has ended. This website will remain available in order to share the many products and resources developed by HIP, but will no longer be updated. HIP was a 6-year USAID-funded program (2004-2010) that sought to reduce diarrheal diseases and improve child survival through the promotion of three key hygiene practices: handwashing with soap, safe feces disposal, and safe storage and treatment of household drinking water.

About HIP HIP focused on promoting sustainable, at-scale improvements of three key hygiene practices in at least 2 countries and through selected, strategic activities. While the HIP project has ended, many of the activities started by HIP will continue under the USAID-funded WASHplus project.
Programs Working at scale, HIP seeks to improve key hygiene practices by engaging multiple stakeholders, at different levels, using multiple interventions and focusing on all components of the hygiene improvement framework.
