Construction of modern toilets to enhance sanitation for Covid-19 prevention.

The proposed project will involve the construction of modern male and female toilet blocks for pupils and staff that will house squat-type flush toilets, urinal and sensor mounted handwashing facilities that would ensure that the users are able to wash their hands without touching the water taps. The female toilet blocks will additionally be furnished with menstrual hygiene facilities. The implementation period of the project is from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021. The project aims at improving sanitation and hygiene standards for COVID-19 prevention at Bunda Primary School. Both staff and pupils are the target beneficiaries due to the current state of their toilets that poses a health risk of spreading COVID-19. Furthermore, once schools reopen in Malawi, there will be need for proper disposal of face masks hence provision of such facilities at the institution. The project will also install a solar powered groundwater pump and a water tank to ensure steady water supply at the institution since the school is often times faced with intermittent water supply from the water supply company. The project will therefore provide water, sensor power hands fire hand washing facilities and incinerations facilities.
