uniforms, transportation, and materials. The fact that schools place multiple demands on us discouraged us form sending our children to school. Project’s education kits dramatically reduced our stress. …” b. Resumed the disrupted education system Thanks to project, TLCs were established in the most vulnerable of school where the education system had been completely disrupted by earthquake. The establishment of TLCs helped children resume their schooling immediately, thereby reducing the risk of their wandering here and there, at risk of being exploited. The trauma and distress associated with the destruction of school buildings was also reduced through the rapid resumption of classes. Parents were very pleased that TLCs systematize the education system. c. Reduced diseases and ensured safe water and sanitation Unsanitary living conditions such as substandard sanitation, inadequate water supplies, and poor hygiene, make children especially vulnerable to disease. The project oversaw the construction of temporary toilets and bathing areas safe enough that even girls felt comfortable using them at all times. The systematic support of WASH endeavors at schools improved sanitation in and around the schools. A series of training courses, orientations, and interaction meetings foster awareness about the need to improve water quality and sanitation, and about the problems of uncontrolled vectors and poor hygiene. Teachers and students learned about the numerous diseases spread by water and waste and through inadequate hygiene. Once they were made aware about how to purify water and practice minimal personal hygiene, the incidence of WASH-related diseases like diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, fever, and scabies declined.
