From 15 June to 25 June 2023, SIDS implemented a School WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) Program in Tokha Municipality, reaching students from nine local schools.
The program was delivered through age-appropriate sessions, tailored to different learning needs:
- Children aged 4-7 years received training on basic sanitation and hygiene, including safe handwashing, clean water use, and everyday hygiene practices essential for healthy growth.
- Students aged 12–15 years participated in sessions on health education, WASH practices, and climate change and its impact on water availability, sanitation, and community health.
Interactive discussions, practical demonstrations, and participatory learning methods were used to help students connect hygiene behaviours with broader health and environmental outcomes.
By engaging students at different developmental stages, the program aimed to build early healthy habits, strengthen adolescent awareness, and encourage young people to act as agents of change within their schools, families, and communities.
