Advancing WASH in Schools and Menstrual Health (US and Kenya)

The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) is launching a critical call for partnership aimed at revolutionizing Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in schools. This initiative, titled Advancing WASH in Schools and Menstrual Health, focuses on the United States and Kenya, seeking to bridge the gap between policy and practice. The program is designed to empower girls and students by ensuring they have access to dignified, safe, and private facilities, which are essential for their health and continued education. By fostering an international partnership, UNICEF aims to generate evidence-based guidance that can be scaled globally, addressing one of the most persistent barriers to gender equality in education.

Selected partners will play a pivotal role in creating technical support frameworks for governments, developing robust learning resources, and leading capacity-building efforts. This is more than just a funding opportunity; it is an invitation to join a global movement that prioritizes the health and dignity of children. Whether you are an NGO, a research institution, or a civil society organization, this partnership offers the chance to co-create solutions that ensure no child is left behind due to a lack of basic hygiene facilities or menstrual health support.
