Would you send your kids to a school without toilets?
A lack of toilets in schools is a very real issue in many countries in the developing world.
A very dramatic example is India.
- Over 200,000 schools in India have no toilets at all;
- 400,000 schools have toilets that are not useable;
- 400,000 schools have no separate toilets for girls; &
- 250 Million Children go to school every day with nowhere to go to the toilet
What do you think adolescent girls do when they are experiencing their monthly cycle? You guessed it – they don’t go to school!
Here are some of the facts:
- 25% of girls in India drop out of school upon reaching puberty;
- 40% of those who drop out cite lack of toilets as the primary reason for doing so;
- A further 23% of girls miss school every month when they have their period; &
- Many girls do not drink water at school so that they don’t need to use the toilet
