Lifewater Training Manuals

To support the training of Lifewater’s volunteers and partners, we have developed manuals in each of our WASH program areas – WAter, Sanitation, and Hygiene.

Our courses are designed to be highly participatory in nature and to incorporate the principles of effective adult learning. Our curriculum has been written to help course facilitators engage their students in active learning. For this reason, our manuals are best used in the context of a class led by an experienced Lifewater trainer. The manuals are full of useful information, but are more than how-to guides. The goal of each of our classes is to help student gain the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that are necessary to be effective in each program area. Therefore, to make the most of the information, we recommend that you attend our courses.

At present, the following manuals are available for purchase from Lulu.com as a wire-bound paperback or as a free PDF download:
