Schools as Motivators

Somaliland suffered a three-pronged disaster in 2020, with flooding, locusts, and COVID-19 striking in short succession. There is a lack of safe water, sanitation facilities, and good hygiene practises, and virtually nobody knows how to maintain a healthy diet or protect the environment. Welthungerhilfe is working in around 20 schools here, applying the “Blue Schools” approach to providing pupils with services and solutions that address precisely these issues. Areas of focus include menstrual hygiene, school gardens, and waste management.
