| Abstract | During a meeting held in mid October 2008 between WPI and Emory regarding selecting and finalizing SWASH+ sanitation innovations to be built and studied in the upcoming months, the topic of washrooms as a potential innovation was visited. During the SWASH+ Year 1 (2007) sanitation package construction, SANA International, the then subcontractor of WPI, constructed “washrooms” in two of the SWASH+ Year 1 intervention schools, Chemilil B1 Primary School in Nyando district and Osuri Primary School in Rachuonyo district. These washrooms were built without the knowledge of other SWASH+ partners and deviated from the original sanitation package intervention. Based on a brief conversation between SANA and Emory, SANA explained that the washrooms were built due to the insistence of primary schools girls in the respective schools. [authors abstract] This is a SWASH+ -output. |
