Vietnam - Survey on the needs of boarding school pupils
🏫 Over 900 students, from 1st to 5th grade, started their school year at Khau Ly School in Lao Cai Province in northern Vietnam at the beginning of September! 725 of them are boarders and live in difficult conditions: no showers, poorly maintained toilets, insufficient access to water, and overcrowded dormitories. We are currently working with the Phinh Ho Commune and the school’s management on joint projects for new infrastructure. We are awaiting administrative approvals to begin water access improvements and build showers and toilets by the end of 2025 💧🚿🚽 Sinh, our project manager, conducted a survey with the students to understand their needs and desires regarding hygiene and privacy. We design our projects with input from all stakeholders!
