Bomaka Primary School, located in the Southwest region of Cameroon, has 498 students. The school’s old latrines were full and abandoned. This project built a new block of latrines: 5 stalls and one urinal to be shared by all students and staff.
This project was unique because:
- It saved the school from being shut down.
- The community contributed $1,000 worth of labor to dig the pit, which is 16 feet deep.
- Over its expected life it will help more than 5,000 children have a better education.
