Be Clean, Be Strong is a beautifully illustrated children's book that follows the humorous and heartfelt journey of a young Ugandan boy named Mukisa, who learns that true strength begins with clean habits.

Through playful adventures and everyday life at home and school, Mukisa discovers the power of handwashing, safe water, proper sanitation, mosquito net use, and sharing good hygiene with others. From building a tippy tap to helping a sick friend recover, Mukisa transforms from a messy runner to a proud WASH Champion—clean, strong, and inspiring others along the way.

With vibrant storytelling, African culture, rhyme, and comic charm, this book teaches essential WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene) principles in a way children aged 5 to 12 years can understand, enjoy, and apply in their own lives.

It's more than a story—
It's a call to every child:
Be smart. Be kind. Be clean. Be strong.
