Toilet block construction at Zila Parishad Primary School, Dhanore village

Sanitation improvement is an inevitable need of a society to improve health issues and also address the social aspects. The idea for building a toilet block structure in ‘Zilla Parishad Prathamik Shala, Dhanore village’ was initiated by Global Communities in collaboration with Cohesion Foundation Trust. Sustainability Initiatives team analysed the existing toilet conditions and designed and facilitated the renovation of toilet block structure. As per the availability of the space, four toilets for girls (including staff) and three toilets for boys (including staff) were constructed with a separate trough-type hand wash basin. The design of toilet block structure followed simple yet crucial criteria viz, ease to use for children, low cost local materials, easy to clean, less maintenance and preferably less water consuming. Developing proper sanitation practices enhances students’ understanding towards sustainable health habits. Therefore, with this small scale project, SI aimed to inculcate the significance of proper toilets and sanitation needs among students and staff.
