@Malwani Township English School

ObjectiveTo create an awareness of cleanliness for

prevention of illness and diseases

Origin of the Thought The school and class surroundings were not kept clean on a

regular basis The teachers put forth the problem on debate Students discussed the reasons for the problems

Outcome of discussions Students concluded that : Class attendance has been low due to illness which feeds into low

academic scores. Parents spend a lot of money on medicines and treatment . Communities are not conscious that their surroundings are not

clean. Communities do not make the connection between unhygienic

surroundings and increasing cases of illness.

PlanCreate awareness in school

ImpactStudents visit the site on a weekly basis to

keep the cleanliness drive alive. Students clean the area and speak to the residents personally.

The students want to take up one more issue to problem-solve . They want to make an impact however small it may be.

How we changed

Students have a greater sense of responsibilty towards the society. They want to take up more issues and do something about it.

Some students have already come up with ideas – they want to collect money to buy more dustbins for the school. Some want to find a way to put street children into school. They want to visit their houses and convince their parents to send those kids to school.
