Build a Safe School Toilet for 500 pupils

For approximately 40 years, Mwanyagiri Primary School has depended on an old pit latrine that is now full and deteriorating.

Today, more than 500 pupils face the consequences of inadequate sanitation. Teachers, volunteers, parents and community members are also affected.

The situation raises serious concerns about possible disease outbreaks, poor hygiene, loss of learning time, absenteeism and children's dignity.

Through F SSIBU Mission Foundation – Uganda, we are mobilising resources to construct a new, safe and hygienic toilet facility.

This project will improve sanitation, promote handwashing, support menstrual hygiene and create better learning conditions.

It will also provide suitable facilities for teachers, volunteers and community members attending meetings and activities at the school.

We are encouraged by the willingness of local residents to contribute labour once the necessary funding is secured. Their participation will strengthen community ownership and support the long-term maintenance of the facility.

Our vision goes beyond replacing an old toilet. We want children to attend school with dignity, concentrate on their studies and pursue their dreams without sanitation challenges.

We invite individuals, organisations and development partners to stand with Mwanyagiri Primary School.

Children’s health is closely connected to the conditions in which they learn, play and grow. Providing access to proper sanitation is therefore an important investment in their overall wellbeing.

At Mwanyagiri Primary School, the existing sanitation infrastructure presents serious concerns because it is no longer adequate for the number of children depending on it.

Poor sanitation can increase children’s exposure to preventable infections and other hygiene-related health risks. These challenges can affect their comfort, attendance and ability to participate fully in educational activities.

The construction of a new toilet facility is an important step towards addressing these concerns.

We want to provide pupils with a more appropriate sanitation environment that supports proper waste management, personal hygiene and responsible toilet use.

The project will also complement health awareness activities within the school. Teachers and community health educators can use the improved environment to encourage children to practise good hygiene and understand the importance of sanitation in preventing illness.

Our intention is to contribute to a healthier school environment where children can focus on growing academically and socially.

F SSIBU Mission Foundation - Uganda believes that protecting children’s health should be a shared responsibility.

We are appealing to compassionate donors, organizations and development partners to help us construct a new toilet at Mwanyagiri Primary School.

Your support will contribute to an essential improvement that protects children’s welfare and strengthens the foundation for their future.
