Girls leading SLTS approach at Gongatarey School

sensitisation on handwashing in Gongatarey school

Before the advent of the CLTS in Plan Niger’s intervention area, students were using the area right behind the classrooms or the bush rather than in the latrines to defecate. To alleviate this situation, Plan Niger has extended CLTS activities to the schools. Gongatarey school has been using School-Led Total Sanitation (SLTS) since 2011 to improve the school environment. This includes promoting the use and maintenance of the school latrines, as well as student-led sessions on health and hygiene.
