Water-Health and
Hygiene Education
Overview
Planet Water’s Water-Health and Hygiene education programs are an integral part of all of our solutions with our objectives focused on creating a change in behavior and knowledge on life-saving hygiene practices starting at an early age.
Our hygiene education programs are implemented by providing education in our project schools through our school-based programs.

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.
Community-based Hygiene Education Program
In addition to learning about the spreading of germs and hand washing, participants will also learn about other healthy hygiene practices such as bathing and tooth brushing, along with learning about the importance of healthy eating and being physically active. The program is comprised of a hands-on, interactive workshop designed in efforts to reinforce practicing healthy hygiene habits at home. During the workshop, hygiene items are distributed to participants to take home.
