Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene promotion
Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene
What we do
To promote WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) and basic healthcare services in schools, we work closely with the school administration and ROTO WASH – Health Club of the school to improve student and teacher health, attendance, and overall well-being. In order to achieve this
Handwashing Stations
Set up handwashing facilities with soap at key locations, like near bathrooms, cafeterias, and classrooms, to encourage regular hand hygiene.
Water Access Projects
Install water tanks, wells, or boreholes to ensure that schools have a reliable source of
clean water. In areas with limited access, we set up rainwater harvesting systems.
Sanitary Toilet Facilities
Improve school sanitation by providing clean, separate toilets for boys and girls,
ensuring dignity and privacy, especially for adolescent girls
PROVIDE SANITATION SUPPLIES AND RESOURCES:
Basic Hygiene Kits
Distribute kits containing soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and sanitary pads to students,
especially in underserved areas where access to these items is limited.
Reusable Menstrual Hygiene Products
Support adolescent girls by providing reusable sanitary products and creating safe,
private changing areas to ensure they don’t miss school due to lack of supplies.
Regular Supply of Cleaning Materials
Provide schools with basic cleaning supplies and disinfectants to keep classrooms,
toilets, and communal areas clean and safe
PROMOTE HYGIENE EDUCATION AND GOOD PRACTICES
Collaborate with local healthcare workers to regularly visit schools, offering guidance on
maintaining health and hygiene. Organize WASH awareness events that involve parents, students, and community
members in school and neighborhood clean-ups, strengthening community ties, Host sessions for parents and community members on health, hygiene, and sanitation
practices, so healthy behaviors are reinforced both at home and in school.
