Return to Water in Africa

 

 

Kamla, a junior secondary school form 1 student, is washing his hands at the hand washer. There is no water source at the schools except for the taps at the latrines (there are only four taps for more than 700 students). Hand-washing stands have been made for each classroom. There is not enough water to provide a fresh supply for each wash, but this is a start toward better student hygiene practices.
