During implementation of the project, the NGO visited each and every household in the selected townships in Zomba every day for two weeks to educate households and show them how to boil water for drinking and cooking. The project was implemented in 5 segments out of 15 segments of the city of Zomba district. The selection of the five townships was not randomized.
