Water and sanitation
In 2018, water was not available at the school. The school had a roof water harvesting system, but it was damaged. There were no specific facilities for girls handling menstrual hygiene;[1] this is a major reason for adolescent girls dropping out of school.[2][3] Up to 2018, there was a small toilet building, in poor condition.[1]
In 2019, the School WatSani project built an Ecosan toilet building at this school.[4][5] Through a nudging approach, the students are sensitised to using the sanitation and water facilities.[4]
Transportation
All children travel to school on foot. Many students will walk more than an hour (sometimes two), twice a day, to come to school.[1]
Other challenges
The smaller children often miss school because of fear of hyenas on the way.[1]
