THANK YOU KTCT
On behalf of the management and staff of Action for Sustainable Development. I would like to express our happiness and great thanks to KTCT for approving our proposal for construction of permanent VIP latrines at Mtende Primary School at Parango Village in Malawi. Truly, lack of proper toilets has remained a great barrier to education in Mtende community particularly girls, resulting in high incidences of school drop-outs and absenteeism. The approved grant of £11,000 by KTCT committee will enable us reverse the situation by building the toilets we requested, install rainwater harvesting system connected to 3,500 litre storage tank to provide hand washing facilities, establish and train a Project Management Committee and the Parents Teachers Association to oversee the construction of latrines, conduct hygiene education programme, ensure the pupils use the facilities properly and carry out maintenance and repairs as necessary.
