Hygienic handwashing at schools


Western Cape schools update :
Water will be trucked into the WCape schools, DHL offered to help move the water. School teachers will get their personal daily ration also brought to them at school so they do not need to queue at the PODS (Points of Distribution)
There are 811 schools in the #Cape Town metro, 695 rural schools. There are 712,111 pupils in metro schools, 404,405 in rural areas and 32,000 teachers. WCED will get 20l ppp day at school, so 23M litres per day for schools is needed.
407 schools have boreholes but 99 of those aren’t functional. Only 58 have drinking water, 349 have non-potable water which can be used for fire safety and sanitation

Comment on the above article: A week ago I asked my grandson what his school will be doing regarding DAY-O and he’s said that a bucket of water will be placed in each classroom for learners to wash their hands 🙈I hope that the school has in the meantime come up with a better plan.


Elena Burrows Sochugova For the whole class to wash their hands in the bucket is very unsanitary. Rather make something like this for the class. Surely dads can help make these for the schools?
