15% of the new toilets in Nkayi were constructed after the triggering exercise. Triggering is based on stimulating a collective sense of disgust and shame among community members as they confront the crude facts about mass open defecation and its negative impacts on the entire community. The goal of the exercise was purely to help community members see for themselves that open defecation has disgusting consequences and creates an unpleasant environment.

After triggering exercise l realized that families who do own toilets are prone to faecal oral contamination due to the actions of us who don’t. We motivated each other to construct latrines and avoid the above predicament. In our village we are say no to open defecation.
