Chad, one of the poorest Sub-Saharan Central African countries, has one of the worst global diarrhea burdens. Project 21 seeks to enhance community health in the rural town of Béré, Chad but it is lacking. The study aims to determine diarrhea outcomes and associated factors, such as drinking water, malaria, sanitation and hygiene resources and practices, in Béré. A survey questionnaire was administered by trained community health workers using a random sampling method. The respondents ( n = 484) are predominantly Nangtchéré (87%) evangelical (63%) males (88%) aged between 40-59 years old (43%) with secondary school education level (37%) or 8 years of school on average, from nuclear families (78%) with seven members on average, and of medium housing standard (56%). Drinking water treatment, transport and storage ( p p p p p p p p p < 0.001) are predictors of children diarrhea outcomes. Future interventions targeting the above factors are warranted
