In Mpigi, Uganda, Drink Local Drink Tap (our implementing partner) has partnered with the community and school for many years. Maggya Primary School is in dire need of two latrine blocks (VIP- ventilated improved pit latrines) to help 513 students and teachers. The school is used as a church, so churchgoers will have access as well.

The stench of the current latrines is unbearable, they are cracked everywhere and the floor will collapse soon. The current latrines are not ventilated, not private, and the size of the rooms cannot safely accommodate all the people.

Drink Local Drink Tap builds long-lasting, drainable latrines which cannot collapse and will last for decades. By building these latrine blocks, boys and girls can stay safe and healthy, be more encouraged to attend school and feel proud of their environment. Going in the open without privacy and stepping in other peoples' mess can be an issue of the past with your help.
