There are three components of this project namely lightning protection, provision of hand washing facilities and sensitization of children and residents of the lightning threat and benefits of hand washing. Schools to benefit have been assessed. Lightning arrestors will be secured. Identified buildings, giving maximum protection, will be fitted with lightning arrestors. The schools will therefore become safe to the children since the lightning threat will have been removed. School enrollment will rise since parents will now feel that their children will be safe at school. For hand washing, rainwater gutters will be fixed to the identified building, a water storage tank supplied and installed. Connection to a hand washing facility / station will be made.
