Bukwamba Sanitation

The Problem

Located in the western region of Kenya, Bukwamba primary school is a mixed public primary school with a population of over 1500 pupils and only four existing pit latrines, all of which are in nearly unusable conditions.

The Solution

This project will fund the rehabilitation of the existing pit latrines and the construction of new latrines to serve the students and staff of the school. Once completed the school is also implementing a program on healthy hygiene habits for the students.
