    Abstract
    Provision of potable water and sanitation facilities for the vast majority of the poverty-stricken people of developing countries remains a formidable challenge for sustainable development To accomplish this task, policy makers agree that water and sanitation should be a task of the people with government participation rather than being a task of the government with people's participation. The health benefits resulting from improved sanitation and water supplies will be limited if behaviour modification does not occur simultaneously. NGOs can play a significant role in this :field. BRAC's EHC integrates preventive health inputs with RDP's mainstream activities in a comprehensive package. We tried to see how these activities translate into desirable health behaviour among beneficiary households by comparing them with households of a similar socioeconomic status but not receiving these inputs.
