Sanitation facilities a Motivation to Learners
A story from Mount
Carmel Primary School
Background:
Experiences
from the field
The
Voice of the District Education Board Secretary (DEBS)

The female Pupil’s voice about
the newly constructed sanitation facilities
Catharine Banda a grade eight (8) pupil at Mount
Carmel said that I never thought of using the school toilet because the situation
was beyond explanation. At my school we are over 1,000 but only two latrines
available which are being used by all grades from one to Nine, imagine the situation, and at my age it
is practically impossible because I feel insecure, shame and very uncomfortable.
Since the coming of these latrines I can’t
hide my happiness and excitement. The dream of spending more hours at school
and enjoying my learning has come true. The handwashing facility is just so
amazing that I feel like washing my
hands all the time. Thank you to VAREN and your supporters UNIECF and DFID
for the extraordinary work and gift you have given us.
