UNICEF: Clean Water in Schools Can Help Prevent Childhood Illness

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) says that providing clean water and soap in schools can protect children from diseases caused by contaminated water.

In a post on its X account on Thursday, 23 Mizan, to mark Global Handwashing Day, the agency said access to safe water, sanitation services and hygiene facilities are among the basic needs of people in Afghanistan.

UNICEF added that it is working to improve access to safe water and health services for people across Afghanistan.
