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.
Every contribution brings us closer to achieving this important goal.
