Water and sanitation

In 2019, no water was available at the school. There was a hand-dug well with handpump and the school had a roof water harvesting system, but both installations were damaged. Up to 2019, there was a toilet building, in relatively good condition; the latrine pit is emptied every two years.[1] Through nudging approach, the students are sensitised for using the sanitation and water facilities.[2]

Transportation

All children travel to school on foot. Many students will walk more than an hour, twice a day, to come to school.[3]
