Anganwadi instructor Krishna Maity stresses the importance of nail cutting with some of the 25 children in her care from the village of Podumkhana. Maity has been trained by UNICEF through local partners the Ramakrishn Mission to teach children the importance of hygiene. This includes particular emphasis on handwashing, toilet use and nail-cutting. The training of anganwadi workers compliments UNICEF's commitment to hygiene education among primary school students used to promote personal hygiene and encourage child-to-child and child-to-parent interaction on hygiene. The Podumkhana anganwadi centre is supplied by the Ramakrishn Mission with a filter for the removal of iron from drinking water. Using the local media, UNICEF have also undertaken awareness drives in this area to encourage the community to make use of water pumps and latrines. ..Photo: Tom Pietrasik.Podumkhana village, Purbamedinipur district, West Bengal.
