Hand Washing with Soap!

After receiving over 4,500 soaps from PZ Cussons in January, Village HopeCore International began to distribute them at our mobile clinic partner schools. In order to ensure that students wash their hands with soaps, we teach the importance of hand washing through a dance, which was made by UNICEF: Do the Global Handwashing Dance. Some schools made their own hand-washing stations, so they have a sense of ownership with this hand-washing project. We hope that our mobile school partner schools continue taking the initiative to make their schools healthier! As the next step, we are planning to provide water treatment materials and water tanks to our mobile clinic schools. Currently, many students are drinking tap water, which is one of the main causes of stomachache among them. By washing hands and drinking clean water, students can be healthy and focus on their academics! We are looking forward to reporting on this water project in the near future.
