Water-Health and
Hygiene Education
Planet Water’s Water-Health and Hygiene education program is an integral part of our work with our objectives focused on creating a change in behavior and knowledge on life-saving hygiene practices starting at an early age.
The program is implemented by our educators in all of our project schools.
Meet Droplet
As the mascot for Planet Water’s Water-Health and Hygiene education program, Droplet teaches about Water-Health and Hygiene in a fun and interactive way. Droplet not only encourages children inside the classroom, but he can also be found on the AquaTower to reinforce the importance of clean water and how and when to wash hands at the point-of-use.
School-based Hygiene Education Program
Kicking off the installation of our clean water solutions, Planet Water implements a school-based Water-Health and Hygiene education program in each school we support through training the school teachers on the program so they can successfully implement it into their classrooms in the days and weeks following the project. In addition to training the teachers, we also conduct Water-Health and Hygiene games and activities with the students in the classroom.
Students will learn about germs and how they spread, how and when to wash their hands, the importance of practicing healthy hygiene habits, and how to make healthy food choices to have a healthy body and a healthy mind through a hands-on, activity-based program which incorporates games, drama, song, and storytelling.
