The project also focuses on activities to raise awareness about maintaining general hygiene and guide school hygiene practices through a set of documents given to children. It is estimated that nearly 5,000 students and teachers on the rocky plateau will benefit from the project's clean, beautiful, and safe sanitation facilities.
