<span class="p2">These important structures represent the next phase of the project, moving beyond infrastructure delivery to long-term ownership, sustainability, and behaviour change. The Hygiene Clubs will empower pupils to become champions of good hygiene practices through peer-to-peer learning, promoting handwashing, environmental cleanliness, water conservation, and proper sanitation habits across the school community.</span>

<span class="p2">The newly established WASHCOM will play a critical role in supporting the operation, monitoring, and maintenance of the water and sanitation facilities, helping to ensure they remain functional, safe, and accessible for all learners.</span>

<span class="p2">As part of the initiative, pupils and teachers also received training on hygiene and sanitation, including menstrual health and hygiene management, while teachers were provided with emergency menstrual hygiene kits to support girls and foster a more inclusive learning environment.</span>

<span class="p2">This initiative reflects our commitment to improving health, dignity, inclusion, and educational outcomes for children, particularly girls, children living with disabilities, and vulnerable learners.</span>

<span class="p2">To ensure lasting impact, hygiene and sanitation sensitisation sessions, training activities, and continuous engagement with both the Hygiene Clubs and WASHCOM will continue within the school. In addition, the functionality and utilisation of the water and sanitation facilities will be monitored over the next six months to support effective maintenance, ownership, and long-term sustainability.</span>
