Health At Schools
Health Services: A student who is not healthy cannot profit optimally from the educational process. Schools can be one of the primary sites through which children and youth learn about the factors that influence their health. The health and well-being of children is a fundamental value of society.
Health Education and Services
Barriers that the GRACE initiative is addressing in health include:
◊ Sexual and reproductive health issues
◊ Gender Based Violence

Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Program
Each child has a right to quality education which includes safe drinking water, Sanitation, and Hygiene services and focuses on the standards for promoting a clean and safe school environment.
We have improved WASH in primary schools by providing 10 hand washing stations in the schools and training over 3000 learners on best hand washing, latrine use, and hygiene practices.
