Water collection stainless steel tank to collect purified water 5. Water supply pipe line and 4 water tap in different location 6. Urine collection system established 7. Urine collection tank -2 ( one for male, one for female) 8. Conducted Sensitisation workshop to teachers and parents- one day 9. Orientation to teachers, School Management Committee members and students- one day The proposed project has been implemented in partnership with the local school management committee and parent teacher association established in the school.
