We want to build Comprehensive Solutions
With your help, we can ensure every school and student has lasting access to safe water, sanitation, hygiene, and adequate services for generations to come
01

SANITATION
Access to adequate sanitation is a fundamental need and human right. School sanitation is an essential component that includes the provision of toilet infrastructure and handwashing facilities in schools.
02

HEALTH & HYGIENE
Correct use and maintenance of water and sanitation facilities are ensured through sustained hygiene promotion. Appropriate disposal of used menstrual material is still lacking in many countries of the world.
03

BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
To nudge the behavior of school children to realize the consequences of solid waste issues and raise the awareness of the school children on Solid waste issues and best management practices
Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. Children who are taught SHE ( Sanitation and hygiene education ) in schools have a greater chance of being open to new ideas and developing good habits in their most formative years. Using what they have learned and implementing quality hygiene and sanitation at home and school, these students become powerful agents of change.
