With more than six million children out of school in Sindh—more than 50 percent of them girls—Blumont has worked throughout the province to improve education and bring kids back to class. Blumont’s USAID-funded Sindh Community Mobilization Program (CMP) leverages community support for local schools, small grants, and capacity building for school management committees (SMCs) to enact positive, lasting change.

Global Handwashing Day is an opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of washing with soap and water to prevent disease. Blumont’s Sindh Community Mobilization Program (CMP) team used the day to design, test, and replicate creative ways to encourage people to wash their hands at critical times, like before eating and cooking, and improving overall health and well-being for our beneficiaries.
