WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) Officer Question: Download WASH Officer PDF
What are some of the biggest challenges you face in teaching hygiene and sanitation?
Answer:
Feminine hygiene for girls -- it's something you might not think of, but school attendance drops off dramatically once girls reach puberty. This is because of the stigma surrounding menstruation, lack of latrines and places to wash up at school, and lack of education about how to make and maintain reusable feminine hygiene products.
World Vision is helping to address these problems, along with installing pit latrines and washrooms at schools, so girls have a safe place to wash up so they can keep going to class. We are all about removing barriers to education.
