Build a Safe School Toilet for 500 pupils

Help Girls Menstruate With Dignity at Mwanyagiri Primary School

For girls attending Mwanyagiri Primary School, menstruation should never become a reason to feel embarrassed, unsafe, or excluded from education. Unfortunately, the school’s inadequate toilet facilities make it difficult for girls who menstruate to clean themselves, change sanitary materials, and manage their periods comfortably during the school day.

The existing pit latrine has reached full capacity, leaving the school without a suitable sanitation solution for its growing number of learners. Without a clean, private space and reliable access to water, soap, and appropriate menstrual hygiene supplies, girls face additional difficulties managing their personal needs.

These challenges can cause discomfort, anxiety, and fear of embarrassment. Some girls may struggle to participate confidently in lessons, while others may feel discouraged from attending school during their menstrual periods.

Building a new toilet with private, usable spaces for girls, alongside handwashing facilities and access to water and menstrual hygiene materials, would help address these concerns.

We call upon donors, well-wishers, and development partners to support this important project. Together, we can help girls protect their dignity, manage menstruation safely, and continue pursuing their education with confidence.
