The Rotary Club of Wa, at the weekend, cut sod for the commencement of a USD100s, 000.00 worth project at Bole Senior High School (BOSEC) and Kurabaso D/A Primary School in Bole in the Savannah Region.
The project, when completed, would impact over 1,700 direct and indirect beneficiaries in the two schools.
It encompasses a 32-seater bio-digester toilet facility and a 30-stall bathroom for the girls at BOSEC.
At Kurabaso Primary School, the project would renovate the primary one to primary three classroom block, provide furniture for the renovated classrooms, and construct a four-seater KVIP toilet and a staff common room.
The project, an initiative of Rotarian Alfreda Eghan Afisah Yahaya, a member of the Rotary Club of San Jose in California, USA, was funded by the Rotary Foundation through her Club, and implemented by the Rotary Club of Wa.
Narrating the circumstance that birthed the project, Madam Yahaya indicated that a visit to BOSEC about three years ago revealed the poor condition the school girls found themselves having to bathe in an old-fashioned bathroom made with brings.
She said at that time the school had 12 toilets serving more than 600 students and the water system was not also good enough.
Madam Yahaya explained that at the Kurabaso Primary School, she realized that one of the three classroom blocks was in a bad state.
Mr Stephen Mwinkaara, the immediate past president of the Club expressed optimism that the project would yield the expected impact.
