SamenvattingWECF and local partners implemented a 2-year project “Safe Sanitation Health and Dignity (SSHD)” in 4 counties (provinces) of Romania, with the financial support of Foundation Ensemble, France, and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. One of the aims of the SSHD project was awareness raising on water source protection, safe sanitation, organic waste management, hygiene and health. To address the above-mentioned problems and aims, WECF created an educational package (WSP toolbox) for schools to develop community based Water Safety Plans (WSP) for local small-scale water supply systems such as dug wells, boreholes and public taps. The aim of the activities on developing WSP for small-scale water supply systems involving schools was, building local capacity and strengthening and mobilising the community for improved access to safe drinking water. This case study will formulate the results of the WSPs carried out by 8 Romanian schools to get an insight into the water situation in rural Romania as perceived by the schools. The case study will give insight into the results of making use of children´s potential and strengths and into which results could best support the local, regional and national planning of policies on water and sanitation for rural areas.
