How Clean Water Improves Learning

Waterborne illnesses are one of the leading causes of missed school days. Safe water dramatically increases regular attendance.

Children free from sickness have better focus, improved memory, and stronger academic results.

In some households, children – especially girls spend hours fetching water. Safe water access returns this time to learning.

Purified drinking water prevents dehydration, illness, and fatigue during school hours.

Handwashing stations reduce disease spread and improve attendance—especially during seasonal illness cycles.

Clean water and sanitation reduce dropout rates among girls and support menstrual hygiene needs.
