Toilet project at Embiti
Sanitation and hygiene in schools contributes to better health and educational outcome among school going children. But just for a moment, imagine attending a primary school with no toilet! This has been the situation at Embiti Primary School near Sand River Mara since the school was founded six years ago.
That was until last year when a very supportive group of young people staying at Sand River Mara, the Young Presidents Organisation (YPO), visited the school. Having seen the school and talked to the staff and students, the YPO group decided to donate US$ 1,000 towards a toilet project.
We are now thrilled to report that we have overseen the successful construction and completion of 4 toilets and 1 urinal for the children and staff. On a recent visit to the school, the toilet facilities were just about to be completed, and the staff and students are delighted with the improvement in their facilities. It is thanks to generous donations such as this one that the Land & Life Foundation is able to continue to make a real difference to the lives of communities living in and around wildlife areas.
