Hands On Manila, in partnership with ARUP, discussed the advocacy-driven initiative with two schools. A total of 105 teachers and leaders of  Mandaluyong Addition Hills Elementary School and Nueve de Febrero Elementary School participated in the workshop. 

Through the Integrated WASH Program, communities are given physical access to a water supply that can provide them with safe, clean, and potable water for drinking, bathing, cooking, and other everyday use. 

As a kick-off for the next academic year,  ARUP distributed their WASH Modules to all particpants and will  provide learning materials together with 100 hygiene kits with towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, face mask, soap, and alcohol to students of HOM’s Partner Schools.
