Sanitation

Right now, around 2.6 billion people in developing countries lack basic sanitation.

We work with local experts to build toilets and hand-washing facilities for schools in developing countries, as well as providing hygiene training for students, teachers and the local community to help prevent children contracting easily spread diseases.

Focusing on rural schools, we fund solid, brick pit latrines for girls and boys, replacing unhygienic non-reinforced sandy pits, or in some cases, no toilets at all. This means healthier children because of better sanitation facilities plus fewer school days missed due to illness and disease. 

Every time you buy One Supersofty Toilet Tissue or One Helping Handwash you’re helping to make a real difference where it’s really needed.

Nkonde Primary School

The sale of One Supersofty Toilet Tissue at selected Sainsbury’s stores, means that we’ve been able to fund sanitation facilities at Nkonde Primary School in the Kalembo District of Malawi.

Specifically, the building of two blocks of four toilets, a block of two toilets, plus hand washing stations and hygiene training.

The sanitation training will be given to the entire school of over 1339 children, including teachers. Pupils are encouraged to share this knowledge about hand washing and good hygiene practices with their family - so the effects will be far-reaching for the entire community.
