In addition, there were 18 children in preparatory classes (Grade 0)
Water and sanitation
In 2018, water was not available at the school, but there was a spring 10 minutes walk away. There were no specific facilities for girls handling menstrual hygiene;[2] this is a major reason for adolescent girls dropping out from school.[3][4] Up to 2018, there was no toilet building.[2]
In 2019, the School WatSani project has built an Ecosan toilet building at this school.[5][6] Through nudging approach, the students are sensitised for using the sanitation and water facilities. [5]
Transportation
All children travel to school on foot.[2]
