Kiteme Primary School in rural Muleba District, Tanzania, faces severe sanitation challenges. A 2024 survey showed that full latrines force students into open defecation, contaminating water sources and causing frequent outbreaks of cholera, typhoid, and dysentery. Poor hygiene awareness worsens health risks, contributing to child and maternal mortality and poverty.
The initiative addresses these issues through three components:
- Sanitation: Build two five-stance ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrines (boys/girls), with urinals and disability access.
- Water: Install rainwater harvesting systems with 10 m³ storage tanks for safe drinking water.
- Health Education: Train 520 pupils and 10 teachers in hygiene and sanitation practices.
This project will improve the school environment, safeguard student health, and strengthen long-term public health outcomes.
