Every child deserves a safe, clean, and dignified place to use the toilet while at school. At Mwanyagiri Primary School, this basic need is no longer being met. The existing toilets are full, and maggots and other insects are affecting the area around the facilities. This has created an urgent sanitation crisis for approximately 500 pupils and their teachers.
Children are afraid to use the toilets because of the insects, smell, and poor conditions. Many are avoiding them completely, which can lead to discomfort, health problems, and embarrassment. Some pupils may rush home, while others may hold themselves for long hours. This affects their ability to focus, attend school regularly, and feel safe in their learning environment.
Teachers are also affected. They cannot work comfortably in an environment where basic sanitation is not available. This makes it harder for them to support pupils and maintain a healthy school environment.
The presence of maggots is a clear sign that the toilets are full and need urgent attention. This is not a small problem; it is a serious sanitation emergency that requires immediate action. The school needs a safe, clean, and functional toilet facility where children can attend to their needs with dignity.
Your urgent support can help provide this solution. Together, we can protect children’s health, restore their dignity, and make sure that no child has to suffer because of poor sanitation at school.
