According to statistical data, an important percentage of schools developing nations, specifically 46%, lack access to enhanced water and sanitation facilities. In light of this urgent matter, the MATCH Foundation organized a Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) training at Tadala abc Primary School on 1st November 2023.
As a newly opened school, students ought to understand and adapt to good WASH practices. This was accomplished through the provision of comprehensive training to both students and teachers by enlightening them on their respective responsibilities in safeguarding the well-being in crucial pillars such as hunger, health, gender, education, and economic issues. Having acquired knowledge during their training, both students and teachers been empowered by fueling their desire to prioritize their well-being and embrace a healthy lifestyle.
Blessings, a standard one pupil enjoyed the training and said that he used to wash hands only during meals but with this training he learned that washing hands after visiting the toilets could prevent him from contacting diseases.
The MATCH Foundation generously donated washing buckets, soap, toilet bleachers to facilitate health practices at the school as well as informative posters illustrating good hand-washing practice. As MATCH Foundation we believe this initiative will enhance a behavioral change for creating a supportive and conducive
learning environment. Our goal with the WASH Program is to fundraise for a modern girls change room in support for the menstrual hygiene management.
