Water and sanitation

In 2018, water was not available at the school; the village spring is at 15 minutes walk. There were no specific facilities for girls handling menstrual hygiene;[2] this is a major reason for adolescent girls dropping out from school.[3][4] There was only a small toilet shed for the teachers.[2]

Transportation

All children travel to school on foot. Many students will walk more than an hour, twice a day, to come to school.[2]

gollark: Yeeees, American healthcare does seem to be uniquely bizarre and wasteful. There are a bunch of theories about this.
gollark: (there are probably, at most, something like a thousand offices getting that)
gollark: This furniture budget thing probably doesn't add up to a significant amount of the total spend, so it's a bad comparison.
gollark: Apparently American healthcare spending is something like 17% of GDP for some insane reason. So it would be a big fraction of the government budget, if they ran it as efficiently as it currently operated.
