New Handwashing Station Transforms Hygiene at Philippine Elementary School

Students at Tubalan Elementary School in the Philippines now have access to a new handwashing facility. The upgrade, funded by a recent donation, aims to improve hygiene standards for hundreds of pupils who previously lacked proper washing stations. For years, children at Tubalan Elementary School struggled without adequate handwashing facilities. Many relied on makeshift solutions, raising concerns about health and cleanliness. In 2025, the Tubalan Support Foundation partnered with M Lhuillier’s ML Cares Foundation to address the issue. Together, they funded and constructed a dedicated handwashing station on the school grounds. Since its installation, the facility has already made a difference. Teachers report better hygiene habits among students, reducing the risk of illness in the classroom. The new handwashing station provides a long-term solution for hygiene at Tubalan Elementary. With proper facilities now in place, students can maintain cleaner habits daily. The project reflects ongoing efforts to support basic health needs in local schools.
