WASH4Girls Initiative – DM AID

Project Details

Schools Assessed: 249 government schools

Location

District: Mardan, KPK

Installation of WASH Facilities in Schools

As part of the initiative, 249 government schools were equipped with electric water coolers featuring three-stage filtration systems and dedicated handwashing units. These installations ensure reliable access to safe drinking water and improved hand hygiene facilities, directly supporting a healthier, more dignified, and girl-friendly school environment.
The project also supported the rehabilitation of 1000 school toilets. This intervention significantly improved sanitation conditions, privacy, and usability of existing facilities, particularly for adolescent girls, and contributed to safer, cleaner, and more inclusive school environments.
To further enhance access to safe drinking water, the project installed 10 Water Filtration and RO plants in selected schools. These systems provide treated, potable water, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases, and supporting better health outcomes for students and staff.

Capacity Building and Community Engagement

To strengthen awareness and sustainability, the project emphasized training and community involvement:

IEC Materials distributed for awareness: 2,000 brushers
Female Teachers Trained as MHM Champions: 104
MHM awareness sessions conducted: 200
