Millions of people die every year from diseases associated with unsafe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene. Young children are particularly vulnerable . WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) related diseases remain among the leading causes of death in children under 5 years.
This initiative seek to promote SDG 6: Clean water and sanitation. Our project aims to (1) Educate pupils of Legend Nursery/ Primary school in uyo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. This will increase awareness on proper waste management, proper disposal of faeces. (2) Show them importance of practicing personal hygiene and demonstrate the basic technique in hand washing .
