In addition, four handwashing stations with clean, piped water were installed.<\/p>\n<p>One of the aims of the WASH Programmes is to reduce school absences by promoting good hygiene practices among students with better facilities. It is now reported that 100% of girls wash their hands more than when they were using the old facilities.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-52853 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.africanadventures.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Sink.svg\" alt=\"sink-in-the-new-toilet-block\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am so proud to be part of the Foundation\u2019s work, especially our hygiene and WASH projects across our partner schools.
