The Kebele 16 Elementary School, on the outskirts of Gondar town, caters for 1,800 pupils. For a number of years, the toilet facilities at the school were totally unsuitable for their pupils.
Hygienic sanitation provision in schools is key to reducing the spread of disease amongst pupils. Sickness immediately impacts on school attendance and a young person’s education. Link Ethiopia worked in partnership with the local community to fund a new toilet block at Kebele 16, with eight toilets for female pupils – and we’re currently working to support an equivalent boys block.
