            Baya Elementary School also reinforced it waste management policies such as its “No Burning of Waste” Biodegradable waste from the school canteen are decomposed in our designated compost pits while non-biodegradable waste like food wrappers are cut into pieces are utilized in Eco-pillows, flower base, and curtains. Plastic bottles are utilized in making flowering pots for hanging plants. These policies helped reduce the school’s plastic waste and encouraged children to refuse the use of single use plastics. Teachers and externals stakeholders provide free drinking water inside their classrooms to prevent heat-related ailment and maintain their focus in class. WinS is one of the most basic aspect in ensuring that children are ready for learning. By addressing WASH in schools, we are helping to: prevent hygiene related disease, promote positive behavior and life skill, improve attendance and participation, help them thrive and learn better, promote gender equality and affirm children’s right to health and education.
