For many girls, attending school during menstruation can become challenging when appropriate sanitation facilities are unavailable. Privacy, clean water and safe toilet facilities are essential for girls to manage their menstrual hygiene with confidence and dignity.
At Mwanyagiri Primary School, the deteriorating toilet facility has created additional difficulties for pupils. Girls who menstruate face challenges accessing suitable places to clean themselves, change menstrual materials and maintain personal hygiene during school hours.
Some girls may feel embarrassed, uncomfortable or discouraged from participating fully in classroom activities when these basic facilities are missing.
We believe that no girl should miss an educational opportunity because her school lacks proper sanitation.
Through the construction of a new toilet facility, we hope to provide a safer and more private environment where girls can manage their menstrual hygiene with greater confidence.
The project will also promote awareness about menstrual hygiene, handwashing and the importance of maintaining clean sanitation facilities.
Our vision is to create a school environment where girls feel respected, protected and encouraged to pursue their education without unnecessary barriers.
We also recognise that boys deserve appropriate sanitation facilities and that the entire school population will benefit from this intervention.
Your contribution will help us address an important challenge affecting children’s dignity, health and educational participation.
Together, let us create a school where every girl can attend lessons, participate confidently and pursue her dreams without being held back by poor sanitation.
