6.1 By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all
Goal One.
Awareness programs for schools in local communities
Sustainable WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) solutions integrate long-term, climate-resilient infrastructure with community ownership to ensure lasting access to safe water and sanitation. Key approaches include nature-based wastewater treatment, solar-powered water systems, and empowering local SMEs to manage services. These initiatives protect ecosystems, reduce disease, and support sustainable development goals
- Hygiene Behavior Promotion: Focusing on hand hygiene, water conservation, and solid waste management for inhabitant in local communities.
- Curriculum Integration: Training teachers to incorporate WASH education into annual school curricula.
- Infrastructure Sustainability: Developing low-cost, locally maintained water systems as well as rehabilitation of existing facilities.
Goal Two
WASH facilities in Schools
- Safe Water & Sanitation: Reliable access to safe drinking water and clean toilets that are separate for boys and girls.
- Hygiene Stations: Handwashing stations near toilets and food areas, equipped with water and soap at all times.
- Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM): Private, safe, and dignified facilities for girls to manage menstruation.
- Maintenance & Management: Ongoing operation, maintenance, and monitoring by school staff, students, and parent-teacher associations.
Goal Three
Environmental projects/ workshops for kids
Environmental project workshop equips children with the knowledge, skills, and practical work needed to protect and sustainably manage their environment. Through engaging, age-appropriate lessons and practical activities such as tree planting, school gardening, waste management, recycling, water conservation, and climate change awareness, children develop a sense of responsibility for their surroundings. By fostering environmental stewardship from an early age, community schools help nurture a generation of informed and active citizens who can contribute to healthier communities, increased resilience to climate change, and sustainable development in Cameroon and beyond.
