School-Based WASH Programs

School-Based WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) programs are initiatives conducted within schools to improve access to clean water, proper sanitation facilities, and hygiene education. They ensure students have safe drinking water, functional toilets, and learn good hygiene practices like handwashing. These programs promote health, prevent disease, and create a better learning environment. By integrating health and hygiene into school routines, they also encourage lifelong habits that benefit individual students and communities. Overall, School-Based WASH programs are vital for supporting students’ well-being and fostering healthy, productive communities.
