Sanitair School Program

Donation: € 10.700

The project aims to provide the 3 primary schools in Njombe, Tanzania with proper toilet and handwashing facilities, training just over 1600 children ages 7-14 in personal hygiene.

The hygiene and sanitation conditions at most schools in Njombe, Tanzania, are very poor. What latrines they have were self-constructed, with little knowledge of proper latrine construction; some of the schools have no toilet facilities at all. The resulting conditions often cause students to fall sick and miss classes. Improving water and sanitation conditions at the schools will give the children a safer, healthier environment, allowing them to focus on their studies. And that will lead to increased performance in school, leading to better educated young adults.
