JAAGO Foundation recognizes that providing education alone to the local children is not enough for achieving its ultimate goal: establishing its students as competitive global citizens. Hygiene is an important aspect of standard life. It is necessary first and foremost for the health of the students but also for employability and general reception into different levels of society.

While JAAGO Foundation successfully provides free-of-cost education for the children of the local slum, it is still unable to completely support or improve the overall hygiene of its students and their families. Many of the families don’t own or use toothbrushes, soaps, shampoos or any other personal hygiene product. JAAGO Foundation has therefore initiated the "Call for Hygiene" project which is aimed at providing these types of items to all the students and their families. JAAGO Foundation provides products such as shampoo, soap, detergent, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. on a monthly basis for free. These hygiene products are provided to protect the children and their family members from diarrhea, fever, food poisoning and other such diseases.

However, availability of these products is not the only issue. Since most of them are not accustomed to these basic hygiene products, they are often unaware of how to use them or don’t fully wish to get into the habit of using them. Every year, JAAGO holds hygiene sessions. Instructors teach the children how to brush their teeth, wash their hair and other hygiene-related tasks that the rest of us find to be our second nature. During these sessions, exposure to such tasks is a first for many of the students.

The funds needed for the “Call for Hygiene” program come from the selling of donated clothes provided by well-wishers of JAAGO Foundation.
