This database contains data collected through semi-structured interviews and art-based research, as part of Kasandra Isabella Helouise Mingoti Poague’s PhD thesis project. Activities were conducted with teachers, parents and/or legal guardians of students, students and school staff other than teachers. All data was collected between 13 and 28 of January of 2024 in the state of Minas Gerais, in Brazil.

The purpose of these qualitative and quantitative activities was to to assess the state of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), including whether the Human Rights to Water and Sanitation (HRtWS) and its normative contents are suitable, in schools (students aged 0–18 years old) from different stakeholder perspectives in a municipality in Brazil. We sought to better understand how WASH-friendly schools are in the study area and for which school stakeholders. Moreover, considering that the school's WASH infrastructure might have been modified during the COVID-19 pandemic, our second underlying objective was to identify what WASH measures were implemented in the schools amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, which have persisted until now.
