Child-friendly schools have good sanitation. Photo: UNICEF.
The Child Friendly Schools (CFS) Manual underscores the notion that to be truly child-friendly a school must have:
- Accessible, gender-appropriate toilets and hand-washing facilities
- Access to potable drinking water
- Solid waste management with proper boundaries
- The school must also teach children appropriate hygiene practices.
This module explores various options for effectively implementing a WASH in Schools programme. A dynamic engagement of CFS principles to evaluate their feasibility and applicability in the country context will determine appropriate options for each school. Considering available resources, physical conditions, existing capacity and opportunities for change will yield a variety of solutions.
In essence, WASH in Schools is a pathway to healthier schools and healthier, better performing children. Key CFS principles and desired features should be used as guides for interventions, stimulating discussion and creativity for the development of sustainable WASH in Schools programmes. These programmes must then be adapted to the practical realities of the school and its surrounding community.
