Though water supply and sanitation facilities are available at schools in Vietnam, many are not fully utilized or in need of repair. To provide clean drinking water to the school children and to improve the facilities for better hygiene and environmental health, FENV joined the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) program in 2022 and 2023.

FENV worked with lululemon on the project, Vender Here to Be 2022. The project team joined non-profit organizations to install restrooms and water purification facilities for Bu Gia Map Elementary School in Bình Phước Province, Vietnam. The construction, which began in March 2022, was completed in September with three-year maintenance service. The improvement is expected to reduce the occurrence of diarrhea and other diseases caused by the lack of sanitary facilities among students, and provide students in remote elementary schools with access to clean water and a comfortable school environment. The project raised the awareness of hygiene and sanitation among over 300 school children. FENV and FEAV also installed the water purification system for Tan Hoa Elementary School in July 2023 and provided the maintenance service, ensuring hygiene and sanitation for each child.
