The outbreak of a cholera epidemic in the province of
KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) in South Africa has made it critical
for the health and hygiene education to be an integral
component of the development of water systems. The
current (March 2001) death toll from cholera in KZN is
reported as 140, since mid-August 2000, a total of 70,558
people have been stricken (1). No cases have been reported
in Emmaus. This paper gives an overview of the framework
used to plan and conduct health and hygiene education in
the Emmaus community of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa.
