What Does Clean Water Have to Do With a Child’s Report Card? Everything.
When a child falls sick from unsafe water or skips school because there’s no toilet, their chance to learn, play, and thrive quietly slips away.
WASH — Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene — is not just about cleanliness. It’s about keeping classrooms full, dreams alive, and childhoods uninterrupted.
Why WASH Matters
Every day without WASH is a day stolen from a child’s future.
How CRY Makes a Difference
✔ Bringing clean water closer to homes and schools
✔ Ensuring safe, functional toilets in schools and communities
✔ Teaching handwashing and hygiene habits that save lives
✔ Running health camps and nutrition drives to protect children during monsoons
✔ Tracking high-risk areas and preventing outbreaks before they spread
Because every clean hand, every safe toilet, and every drop of clean water is one step closer to a healthier, happier childhood.
Monsoons Should Bring Joy, Not Illness
For many children, the rains don’t just mean puddles and play. They mean disease, hunger, and empty classrooms.
That’s why CRY acts before the first drop falls. We map disease hotspots, spread awareness, set up hygiene facilities, and make sure children don’t lose out on school and childhood.
