WASH stands for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene. It’s a globally recognised public health program that recognises the importance of addressing these areas together to improve health and socio-economic outcomes in vulnerable communities. The Cotton On Foundation has adopted the WASH program to drive a number of initiatives within the communities we support. This includes installing tanks for clean drinking water, building hand-washing stations, distributing hand sanitisers, constructing clean toilets with appropriate plumbing, and distributing sanitary pads to girls so they don’t miss school because of their periods. Alongside this, we provide health and hygiene education to help communities stay informed and make positive long-term changes. Thanks to you, 190,000 visits have been made to the healthcare centres we support in Uganda, providing treatment and care to those in need.

Improving student learning outcomes wouldn’t be possible without amazing teachers to inspire a love of learning. This starts with attracting and supporting the best teachers possible in the communities we partner with. We bring on mentors who work one-on-one with teachers to guide them about their practices, providing feedback and promoting peer-to-peer learning. Our Teacher Training workshops focus on literacy development and classroom-based assessment, and provide the materials and resources they need to support young learners.

Before students even step into the classroom, it’s so important that they’re eating well and have the energy they need to thrive. Through the Nutrition Mission program, we aim to empower communities, giving them the tools and knowledge to create healthy habits for their families and for generations to come. The workshops run for about 4-6 weeks and cover topics like growing your own vegetables, hygiene in food preparation, food diversity and nutrition, and recipes. Since 2015, over 2,500 participants across 10 villages have graduated from our Nutrition Mission program. The most engaged participants can then become a Nutrition Mission trainer through the ‘Train the Trainer’ program, to spread the reach of the program to more caregivers and communities.
