Water and Sanitation Facilities

Transforming Communities With Access to Clean Water and Sanitation

Clean water supplies are vital to any thriving community, reducing exposure to water-borne diseases and easing the burden of ill health. Ready access unlocks opportunities for students. We have provided ~350 clean drinking water facilities in schools. These facilities ensure students have access to clean drinking water.

Availability of clean, safe toilets isn’t just a matter of convenience - they can make the difference between a girl receiving the education or being forced to stay at home. It has a positive impact on the attendance of girls in the school. Around 1,100 schools have been equipped with modern, easily maintained sanitation facilities. Around 373,900 girl students have benefited from access to clean toilets since the start of the programme, fostering a more dignified learning experience and potentially reducing absenteeism due to lack of proper facilities.
