Currently, the toilet facilities at the Matinza Primary school are dilapidated and unfit for human use. Currently, the school only provides one latrine with 5 stances for 443 boys and one latrine with 4 stances for 491 girls. This translates into 1 latrine stance for 88 boys and a ratio of 1:122 for girls. The current conditions are a violation to childrens right to education as they are a breeding ground for diseases and lead to school absence attributed to ill health. Absence of running water

=Long-Term Impact=
Providing adequate, and clean sanitary facilities and running water ensures children the access to education and diminishes the risk of disease-related illnesses. The new facilities will not only benefit the current 934 students, but all the additional students who will enroll in the coming years. Further, it has many secondary benefits as education is one of the main tools to eradicate poverty and to further gender-equality.
