Our health & well-being depends on our Hands. Handwashing is the most basic lesson in health & hygiene practices and undoubtedly the most essential too. To advocate the importance of good hand-hygiene to keep diseases at bay & promote handwashing behaviour change among community kids & families, Nirmaan had launched a WASH programme on 31st July 2019. The program consists of conducting periodic workshops in our mobile learning buses Pan-India with demonstrations of essential steps for cleaning hands, along with distribution of health cards, soaps & shampoo to raise awareness & hygienic habit formation among slum-dwelling population.
The activity has resulted in more than 1000 kids and families across slum locations of Kolkata in last one year switching to clean habit & more regular student footfall in the bus locations due to drop in contaminated disease rate.
