Exposing 34% of them to respiratory illnesses, which leads them to stay away from class and school while at home or sickbeds contributing to 26% absenteeism hence driving low grades academic performance.
Parents and guardians desire to see their children in good health and getting to school amidst all conditions, all year throughout.
