Institution: Salfiya School, Seer Hamdan
Theme: School-Based Awareness | Personal Hygiene | Behavioural Change

Emphasising the importance of cleanliness as the foundation of good health, Salfiya School, Seer Hamdan, organised an awareness programme under the theme “Safai Apnao, Bimari Bhagao” to sensitise students and the wider community about personal hygiene, sanitation and healthy everyday practices.

The programme focused on educating students about the connection between unhygienic surroundings, poor sanitation and the spread of diseases. Through guidance and interaction, students were encouraged to understand that maintaining cleanliness is not limited to keeping public spaces tidy but also begins with individual habits and everyday choices.

Teachers highlighted simple yet essential practices, including washing hands regularly, using dustbins, keeping classrooms and school premises clean, and avoiding littering. Students participated enthusiastically in the programme and were encouraged to carry the message of cleanliness beyond the school premises and share it with their families and communities.

By integrating hygiene awareness into the school environment, Salfiya School sought to nurture responsible habits among students and encourage them to contribute towards healthier and cleaner surroundings.

The initiative reinforces the role of educational institutions in promoting sanitation awareness and developing a culture of cleanliness from an early age.

Key Message: Adopt clean habits, prevent diseases and make cleanliness a part of everyday life.
