A Year Later: St. Mary's Junior Secondary School's Clean Kids and Compound!


Emma, 15, said, "It helps both the kids and the community not to go far away for water and even the money spent in buying water has been cut down. Not going across the road, they can use water as much as possible which has helped them clean both themselves and their sanitation facilities."

Abdul Karim Janneh, 45, principal of the school, shared how the waterpoint on campus has helped staff to better control the kids and reduce students' health and safety risks. "With [the] new [water] source the well is close to the school or in the school compound. Children are not losing their classes and have pure [water] for drinking."
