Water and sanitation

In 2018, water was not available at the school, but there was a spring 10 minutes walk away. 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] Up to 2018, there was no toilet building.[2]

Ecosan toilet under construction in Khunale school

In 2019, the School WatSani project has built an Ecosan toilet building at this school.[5][6] Through nudging approach, the students are sensitised for using the sanitation and water facilities.[5]

Transportation

All children travel to school on foot.[2]

gollark: On x86 platforms, you can have a live USB stick and boot that on basically any recent x86 PC and it will probably work fine apart from hardware accelerated graphics, some networking hardware, and whatnot.
gollark: I generally like simpler things. Also, less attack surface.
gollark: I mean, admittedly being CISC is better in some ways and RISC is worse in others, but I kind of prefer RISC.
gollark: ARM positives:- originally more riscy- more implementations- better power efficiencyARM negatives:- literally has a JS floating point conversion instruction???- horrendous software compatibility; most Android devices run ancient kernels with weird device-specific patches and can never be updated, the bootloaders are weird and inconsistent- now very CISC anyway
gollark: Yes, x86 sort of bad, ARM also horrible in similar ways.
