The Ministry of Education and Sports recognizes that Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programs in schools (WinS) are a key priority area and that improved hygiene practices and a clean school environment are contributory factors to ensuring that learners can enjoy an acceptable standard of health. The need for a clean school environment is highlighted in the 2016 School WASH mapping report. The report pointed out the following gaps: poor hygiene practices and low functionality and usability of WASH facilities, very high pupil to stance ratio (73:1) against the national norm of 40:1, hand wash facilities in schools at 40%, basic hygiene services at 37%, and poor operation and maintenance of WASH facilities in schools.
