Kathungu Primary School - Boys VIP Latrines
Kathungu Primary School is a public day and boarding school located in Makueni County, Kenya. This school was started in 1974 with grass-thatched classrooms. Today, there are 316 boys and 312 girls. The school has 11 streams, which are managed by the 25 teachers with leadership from Mr. Richard Musau, the head teacher, and his deputy, Mr. Wambua Mutisya. The school performs very well both academically and in sports.
The pupils in this school participate in various activities during a normal day. They are engaged in learning activities from 8:20 am to 3:10 pm. They participate in various sports during game time from 3:10 pm to 4.10 pm. There are remedial classes for the learners needing extra help from 4:10 pm to 5.00 pm.

The school management committee identified that the school does not have enough toilets, especially for the boys. The 316 boys usually queue to share the two blocks of latrines, made up of 8 holes.
This project proposal is to construct a 16-unit Ventilated Pit Latrine (VIP) block for 316 boys. Our implementing partner, BISEP, will engage qualified technicians to construct the 16-unit block, ensuring the quality and standards required. BISEP will also collaborate with the Ministry of Health and the Department of Public Health to train the pupils on proper water, sanitation, and hygiene.
School management will be trained and will play an important role in ensuring that the facility is well-maintained. The facility will be constructed in a way that once filled up, it will be extracted for re-use.

H2O for Life is not a WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) project implementer. We have partnerships with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) implementing WASH in Schools projects around the world. Our NGO partners match funds needed for each school project. We also have a generous donor that provides us with an interest-free loan that, along with matching funds, allows for many projects to be started or possibly even completed before total funds have been raised. In rare situations we reserve the right to reallocate funds to alternate project(s).
