Hands For Education goes the extra mile to help underprivileged students excel academically through weekly peer-to-peer mentoring sessions.

Sarah Najihah Mohamad Fuzi, 10, was concerned that some of her schoolmates didn’t wash their hands regularly.

“Many of my school friends aren’t in the habit of washing their hands before eating. Some don’t clean their hands after playing or after going to the toilet. It is important to wash hands with soap and water to prevent the spread of germs,” says Sarah, a Year Four student from SK Padang Pekan in Jitra, Kedah.
