Water and sanitation

Ecosan toilet building at Kolal school

In 2018, water was not available at the school. The school had a roof water harvesting, 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 from school.[2][3] Up to 2018, there was a small toilet building, in poor condition.[1]

In 2019, the School WatSani project has built an Ecosan toilet building at this school.[4][5] Through 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 (sometimes two), twice a day, to come to school.[1]

Other challenges

The smaller children often miss school because of fear for hyenas on the way.[1]

gollark: University: on the one hand you apparently earn a significant amount per year more, yes. But on the other hand, universities involve significant hassle, you're not in the workforce for a while, they may not actually be very effective at teaching massively useful stuff, they're wildly overpriced, and they seem to partly be wasteful "positional goods".

gollark: Is this a bot imitating andrew badly?

gollark: Oh, that was actually relevant and sensible.

gollark: I mean, I'd say, it doesn't affect the actual game itself directly but should affect your decision to buy it somewhat.
