Water, sanitation and hygiene education in schools – WASH in Schools – provides safe drinking water, improves sanitation facilities and promotes lifelong health. WASH in Schools enhances the well-being of children and their families, and paves the way for new generations of healthy children.Soap Stories and Toilet Tales from Schools offers a snapshot of WASH in Schools experiences across the globe. These stories have been gathered through a retrospective search of UNICEF’s global and country office websites. They represent a myriad of activities undertaken by UNICEF and partners in 2010 and 2011.Soap Stories and Toilet Tales from Schools is structured around six action points outlined in the Raising Clean Hands campaign.1 This composition gave us an opportunity to look at the progress we are making with our advocacy efforts for WASH in Schools programming at the global level. We have recognized the areas where we have strengths, such as action points one and two: increasing investments for WASH in Schools and engaging with policymakers at all levels. However, we have also identified areas where we can do better, such as action point six: contribute to the evidence base on WASH in Schools.
