Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
I. Rationale
Growing up in a clean and safe environment is every child’s right. Access to clean water, basic toilets, and good hygiene practices not only keeps children thriving, but also gives them a healthier start in life. Despite COVID-19 putting the spotlight on the importance of hand hygiene to prevent the spread of disease, three billion people worldwide, including hundreds of millions of school-going children, do not have access to handwashing facilities with soap. People living in rural areas, urban slums, disaster-prone areas and low-income countries are the most vulnerable and the most affected.
Everyone has the human right to safe drinking water. This holds true in stability and in crisis, in urban and rural contexts, and in every country around the world. When children don’t have access to clean water, it negatively impacts their health, nutrition, education and every other aspect of their lives. Girls, women and people living with disabilities are particularly impacted.
Poor sanitation puts children at risk of childhood diseases and malnutrition that can impact their overall development, learning and, later in life, economic opportunities. While some parts of the world have improved access to sanitation, millions of children in poor and rural areas have been left behind. Lack of sanitation can be a barrier to individual prosperity and sustainable development. When children, especially girls, cannot access private and decent sanitation facilities in their schools and learning environments, the right to education is threatened.
Good hand hygiene is a cornerstone of safe and effective health care. It
is a highly cost-effective public health measure that is also crucial to
protecting against a range of diseases like pneumonia and diarrhea. Global
and national estimates reflect vast inequalities in access to handwashing,
even within countries. Where hand hygiene facilities are available, research
has shown that people, especially men, do not use them consistently.
Greater political support and behavior change interventions are needed to
make substantial improvements in the policies, strategies and actions that
drive sustainable change.
II. Methodology
Description of the Project
Activities in Civic Welfare Training Services (CWTS) such as water sanitation, and hygiene education are the possible activities. The proponent will conduct a program to help children and students’ health awareness, which are the following; a) Proper Hygiene Routines, b) Lecture on how can proper nutrition can make you healthy.
Project Design:
Descriptive design will be utilized in this project proposal entitled “Sustaining Water, Sanitation and Hygiene.”
Project Locale and Participants:
This project will be conducted among the children. Teenagers between 13 and 19 years old are excluded to this activity.
Procedure:
The proponent will ask permission to the barangay captain by signing a consent paper. When permission is granted, the proponent will personally do a door- to-door home visit to five houses and ask permission from the participants parent’s and discuss with them the benefits and the purpose of this project to their sons/daughters and children to avail participation in the said activity. Health protocols are also implemented for the safety of everyone.
III. Objectives
The main objective of this project is to help children in developing their awareness and skills in recreation through a comprehensive approach. Specifically, it will aim to;
- This project intends to support long term positive change children’s behaviour by contributing to achieve sanitation.
- To improve student's health conditions.
- Reduce the prevalence of WASH-related diseases, including diarrheal diseases through the promotion of personal hygiene and environmental practices; and
- Adequate sanitation and hygiene practices and behaviours over time.

V. Evaluation and Monitoring
A continuous monitoring system will be implemented as part of project activities as indicated. Regular reviews and evaluation will be undertaken at five days interval. Monitoring and evaluation reports will be recorded.
VI. Expected Output
The project is premised on the following assumptions:
- Participants are expected to have learned something about health and environmental conditions.
- Children have adopted and improved their hygiene behaviours.
- Everyone not just learned but also enjoyed the fun activity games.
