Water and sanitation
In 2018, water was available near the school. There was a hand-dug well with handpump, and spring water at 25 minutes walking. There were no specific facilities for girls handling menstrual hygiene;[1] this is a major reason for adolescent girls dropping out from school.[2][3] Up to 2018, there was no toilet building; students and teachers needed to go to the open area.[1]
In 2019, the School WatSani project has built an Ecosan toilet building at this school.[4][5] Through a nudging approach, the students are sensitised for using the sanitation and water facilities.[4]
Transportation
All children travel to school on foot. Many students will walk more than an hour, twice a day, to come to school.[1]
