Abdul Aleem Khan Foundation launches major Children health initiative in 20 Government Schools of Lahore
The availability of clean drinking water and well-maintained washrooms is indicative of a healthy lifestyle, and it is crucial to prioritize these amenities in schools, especially for children.
According to the 2023 report published by the United Nations, 33 percent of children in schools around the world are deprived of clean drinking water. According to the report, one in three schools worldwide lacks basic sanitation (i.e., toilets and sewage systems), while nearly half of schools lack handwashing facilities with water and soap.
If the public educational institutions of Pakistan are examined, clean drinking water, poor sewage system, lack of sanitation are among the main problems that directly affect the health of children.
By the way, Punjab is the most developed province of Pakistan, but even in this province, no adequate attention is paid to solving the problems of sanitation, clean drinking water and sewage in public schools.
Our children are our future, but if serious measures are not taken regarding the health of these children, it is sad to say that both the future of these children and the development of Pakistan will be affected.
Clean drinking water is not available in around 200 government schools of Lahore and male and female students are forced to drink unhealthy water due to which the children suffer from various diseases including jaundice. Whereas, best washroom facilities are not available in the school which disturbs children a lot.
The students of the schools say that there is moss and rust in the tanks and pipelines installed in the schools, which makes water unusable, whereas, there is no arrangement for cleaning water tanks installed in the schools. Children are forced to use very poor and polluted water.
The previous governments made promises to provide clean drinking water and washrooms facilities in public schools, the governments changed over the years, but no plan to provide clean drinking water in public schools could be accomplished.
Through his foundation, Abdul Aleem Khan has ensured the installation of water filtration plants and construction of new washrooms to supply clean drinking water to 20 government schools in Lahore.
Abdul Aleem Khan did what he said and proved to be a ray of hope for children studying in government schools in Lahore. Abdul Aleem Khan Foundation installed water filtration plants and constructed clean washrooms in 20 government schools of Lahore with the aim of providing students with opportunities for education in a healthy environment.
