Build a Safe School Toilet for 500 pupils

Dear donor,

Teachers at Mwanyagiri Primary School are doing everything they can to help children cope with the toilet crisis, but the situation has become very difficult. Because the existing toilets are full and affected by maggots and other insects, many pupils are afraid to use them. Teachers are now forced to find alternative ways to help children ease themselves, but these options are not safe, private, or dignified.
Some teachers allow children to leave class and go home when they need the toilet.

However, this means pupils miss important lessons and may not return for the rest of the day. Other children try to hold themselves for long hours, which can cause stomach pain, discomfort, and health problems. Younger pupils are especially affected because they may not be able to control themselves for long periods.

Teachers are also worried about children going into nearby bushes or open spaces. This can expose them to safety risks, insects, and poor hygiene conditions. Girls face even greater challenges because they need privacy and dignity, especially during menstruation. Without a safe toilet facility, many girls may avoid school or feel ashamed.

Teachers feel helpless because they want to protect their pupils, but they do not have a proper solution. They are doing their best with the limited options available, but the situation is becoming harder every day. Children need a safe, clean, and functional toilet facility where they can ease themselves without fear, shame, or health risks.

Your urgent support can help give teachers a real 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.
