School Sanitation Project

Our School Sanitation Project Overview

Our School Sanitation Project continues to make inspiring progress across our partner communities. Our goal remains clear, to provide safe, hygienic, and dignified sanitation facilities that allow students, especially girls, to learn comfortably and confidently.

By working hand in hand with community members through communal labour and local partnerships, we are not just constructing urinals, we are strengthening ownership, pride, and sustainability in rural education. We are pleased to share updates from our three active sites: Teteman, Baglo, and Akaa Quarters.

Teteman Community

At Teteman, the project is nearing completion. Together with the community, we have moulded blocks, laid the foundation, and uilt the urinal structure. The xext steps include plastering, painting, and handover to the school. The community’s support from teachers, parents, and young volunteers, has been remarkable. They have contributed materials and labour with a shared goal of improving their children’s learning environment.

Baglo Community (Baglo M/A JHS)

The Baglo Sanitation Project is also progressing steadily. To date, we have moulded all blocks, laid the foundation, and nearly pompleting block laying for the urinal structure. Plastering will begin soon after that. Although heavy rains caused slight delays, the team remains dedicated to completing and handing over the facility to Baglo M/A JHS in the coming weeks. This facility will greatly enhance hygiene, particularly for adolescent girls, and support school attendance throughout the year.

Akaa Quarters Basic School

Work at Akaa Quarters Basic School has also begun, with the community displaying exceptional commitment. So far, we have cleared and prepared the construction site, Moulded blocks with the help of community volunteers, and Laid the foundation for the school urinal. Next, our team will move into block laying and plastering. The Akaa community’s enthusiasm has been heartwarming, many residents have contributed sand, water, and labour, demonstrating the power of collective effort. Once completed, the new facility will serve hundreds of pupils, promoting cleanliness, safety, and dignity.

Community Involvement and Impact

Each project is rooted in community ownership. Locals provide essential resources and manpower, while Feminine Star Africa supplies materials like cement, pipes, and paint. This participatory model ensures long-term sustainability and teaches young people the importance of collective problem-solving. Improved sanitation directly translates into better health, school attendance, and academic focus particularly for girls who often miss school due to inadequate facilities.

We remain deeply thankful to all our donors, partners, and volunteers for their continued belief in this mission. Every block laid and every wall painted represents hope, dignity, and opportunity for rural children.

Together, we are not just building urinals, we are building healthier schools, stronger communities, and brighter futures.
