Shinyanga Regional Administrative Secretary, CP Salum Hamduni, speaking during the handover ceremony of toilet stalls at Masekelo Primary School in Shinyanga District Council, a project implemented by Water for Good.
Water for Good has constructed 15
modern toilet stalls at Masekelo Primary School located in Bukene Ward,
Shinyanga District Council, a move that has enabled more than 400 students to
overcome the challenge of inadequate safe sanitation facilities and improve the
learning environment.
Speaking during the handover of the
project on June 2, 2026, Water for Good Director, Devocatus Kamala, said the
construction of the toilets was undertaken after it was discovered that the
school had worn-out infrastructure that was causing significant inconvenience.
He said that before the
implementation of the project, some students were forced to return home to
relieve themselves while others had to wait for long periods to use the
existing toilets, a situation that affected their study time.
“We have ensured that children get a
better learning environment and the toilet challenge at this school has come to
an end. We have built 15 modern toilet stalls,” said Kamala.
Apart from this project, Kamala said
the organization has also built a dispensary in Sumbigu Village to bring health
services closer to the community, with the two projects costing more than TZS
56 million.
He noted that since 2021, Water for Good has built 22 toilet facilities with a total of 93 stalls in various schools, benefiting more than 6,000 students.
Shinyanga Regional Administrative Secretary, CP Salum Hamduni, said the construction of the toilets will help increase academic performance and eliminate the problem of inadequate toilet infrastructure.
He thanked development partners, particularly Water for Good, for their contribution to improving the education and health sectors and helping communities access essential services closer to where they live.
