Children are considered as the most vulnerable group of individuals affected by lack of water, sanitation and hygiene facilities which predisposes them to a wide range of enteric diseases particularly diarrhoeal and parasitic infections. School-based WASH interventions typically aim to reduce the incidence of hygiene related diseases, improve school outcomes for pupils and influence hygiene practices of families and the wider community. This study intends to investigate the impact and effectiveness of the teacher-led school- based hygiene intervention on handwashing practices and prevention of diarrhoea, undernutrition, and pneumonia among school children in primary schools in Lagos, Nigeria.
