Rotary India WASH in Schools Program
The Rotary India Wins (WASH in Schools) workshop aims to support the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan by implementing WASH programs in 10,000 government schools across India over two years, collaborating with UNICEF. Key components include improving sanitation, hygiene, and access to clean water, with a focus on education and capacity building to promote health and gender equity among students. The initiative also highlights the urgent need for better handwashing facilities and improved school infrastructure to reduce health risks and enhance educational outcomes.
