WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE IN SCHOOLS
WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE IN SCHOOLS
Children spend a significant portion of their day at school, where a lack of water, sanitation and hygiene services can negatively impact their learning and health. Girls, especially, can struggle to attend and stay in school if they do not have safe, single-sex and hygienic washroom facilities, which are essential for menstrual hygiene management. UNICEF is helping to provide safe water, gender-specific toilets, hand washing facilities and hygiene education in schools to ensure all children have the best learning environment possible.
