Manohar Shenoy explains the mission of The WASH Foundation, an evolution of Clean the World Foundation which is to avert diarrheal diseases as well as pneumonia in children below the age of five years old. Our larger vision is to curb the number of morbidities and mortalities in children by providing access to water, sanitation, and hygiene educational material and resources.
Mr. Shenoy describes the significance of providing handwashing stations, soap, and education in schools and health centers to limit the spread of infections.
In this podcast, Mr. Shenoy also shares the Foundation’s mission to promote menstrual hygiene programs and the use of sanitary napkins to ensure an enabling environment for young women in schools.
