Clean water and sanitation transformed learning, health, and dignity for students at Ha Rannakoe Primary School in Southern Lesotho.

In the village of Katoba, challenges stemming from poor hygiene and sanitation have long affected the lives of pupils at Katoba Primary School. Limited access to clean water and inadequate sanitation facilities have made it difficult for children to stay healthy and attend school regularly. Many students resort to using unsafe water sources, which increases their risk of waterborne diseases like cholera and diarrhoea. The lack of proper toilets and handwashing facilities has also contributed to unsanitary conditions, making it hard for pupils to practice good hygiene habits both in school and at home. These issues have particularly affected girls, who often miss school during their menstrual cycles due to the absence of private, clean facilities and access to sanitary products.
