Project Description
Shree Madhyamik Secondary School, located in the remote area of Limpatar, Katari Municipalityâ€"09, Udayapur District, Nepal, serves 350 students (188 female and 162 male) from Early Childhood Development (ECD) to Grade 12, supported by 16 teachers (8 female and 8 male). During the project assessment, a critical need was identified: the school does not have any functional toilet facilities. The previous toilet structure was dismantled due to safety concerns, leaving students and teachers dependent on a nearby health office toilet or, in some cases, using surrounding bushes.
The lack of proper sanitation facilities has created serious challenges related to health, hygiene, privacy, safety, and dignity. The impact is particularly significant for adolescent girls who require safe menstrual hygiene facilities, younger students, and students with disabilities who need accessible sanitation infrastructure.
To address these identified needs, the project will construct a gender-segregated and disability-friendly Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) toilet facility equipped with sustainable water, sanitation, and hygiene systems. The proposed facility will include:
Girls’ toilet block with 8 toilet rooms and 1 disability-friendly toilet.
Boys’ toilet block with 4 toilet rooms, 4 urinals, and 1 disability-friendly toilet.
Six handwashing stations within the school premises.
1,000-liter overhead water tank with internal plumbing.
Self-flushing system for regular toilets.
Automatic flushing system for disability-friendly toilets.
Septic tank and wastewater management system.
Sanitary pad disposal facility with incinerator.
Menstrual hygiene management facilities and awareness programs.
In addition to infrastructure development, the project will include Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) education and menstrual hygiene training for students, teachers, and the School Management Committee. These activities will promote proper handwashing practices, safe toilet use, personal hygiene, environmental cleanliness, and sustainable operation of the facilities.
