The Layout, Design & Estimate for Toilet Construction in Schools manual is the first step in creating a technical folder on composite WatSan facilities in schools. It details working guidelines for the criteria for site selection, maintenance guidelines, plus hand washing advice, the benefits of school toilets, as well as detailed construction plans. It also includes cost breakdowns covering labour and materials. Fundamentally it delivers the key message that improved WatSan facilities in schools not only builds a healthy environment but also improves enrollment rates and increases retention – particularly amongst the female pupils.
