Hygiene Program

Challenge

Most children in the rural areas of Cambodia have poor hygiene practices due to limited education and resource availability.

Good personal hygiene is essential in daily life. Cleanliness in everyday living promotes a healthy lifestyle and safer social interactions. Good hygiene habits begin from an early age and ensure children get the best start, avoiding sickness and setting a higher standard of living.
