A New Washroom Brings Dignity to Standard Junior Primary School
At Standard Junior Primary School in Zzana, a suburb of Kampala, Uganda, 198 boarding students and resident staff have been bathing in an open-air brick structure. They carried buckets of water, and there was little privacy or protection. Recognizing the urgent need for better facilities, the Global Uplift Project (TGUP) and the Sumar Lakhani Foundation (SLF) partnered to fund the construction of a proper washroom.
With partial funding from the SLF Foundation, TGUP built a brick building with four private bathing stalls. Wastewater from the washroom drains safely into a soak pit located 120 feet away from the facility. The new structure provides students and staff with a clean, ventilated, and private space to bathe — dramatically improving hygiene, personal dignity, and overall well-being of the resident students and staff.
The Sumar Lakhani Foundation is proud to support sustainable infrastructure projects like this, which deliver immediate and lasting benefits to communities in need.
