ASAP, working with a local plumber and using second-hand materials, has developed a simple and easy-to-use system for children to wash their hands. Systems will be installed at primary schools in 9 villages close to Bobo Dioulasso.
Target benchmarks
- 39 functioning hygiene facilities
Improve the health of the children in rural area, and through their example also improve the health of the parents.
Target benchmarks
- 39 functioning hygiene facilities
The system is simple and has no maintenance requirements. The water is brought by the children themselves. The soap will be provided by the parents association. Dirty water will be used to clean the toilets.
Equipping all classes in all schools of the 9 villages means 39 lave main systems are needed. Necessary materials for constructing the "lave main" consist of: one plastic container with screw top, one tap mounted on the container, one metallic support for the plastic container and for the soap. The installation costs include transport to the village.
