These challenges can be particularly difficult for adolescent girls and children with disabilities, who need safe, private, and accessible facilities to participate equally in school life. Investing in School WASH is essential to creating an inclusive learning environment where every child can learn, grow, and thrive with dignity.

Integrated Water & Sanitation Project in Schools works to ensure access to safe drinking water, functional sanitation facilities, and improved hygiene practices in schools. Interventions include installing drinking water stations with treatment systems, child-friendly handwashing facilities, separate toilets for boys and girls, and accessible toilets for children with disabilities. Menstrual hygiene facilities, including dedicated change rooms and sanitary pad disposal systems, support adolescent girls in managing menstruation safely and with dignity. Beyond infrastructure, students, teachers, school staff, parents, and community members are engaged through interactive hygiene awareness activities, while trained Child Cabinet members help monitor facilities and promote good hygiene practices.

Dedicated menstrual hygiene facilities help adolescent girls manage menstruation with confidence and dignity, while accessible infrastructure enables children with disabilities to use sanitation facilities more independently. Funding also supports hygiene education and student participation, helping children develop healthy habits that extend beyond the classroom into their homes and communities.
