May 23rd, 2025 — Mbarali District, Mbeya Region. In a powerful show of partnership and commitment to community well-being, Afyaplus, in collaboration with Nawiri Foundation and Six Rivers Africa, officially handed over a completed Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) infrastructure project to four schools in Miyombweni Ward, Mbarali District.
The handover marks the successful completion of a project aimed at transforming the learning environment for 1,406 students(665 girls and 741 boys) as well as teachers and staff across Magigiwe, Mapogoro B, Mlungu, and Msangaji Mpya Primary Schools.
The project was designed to improve access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene services by rehabilitating and constructing essential WASH infrastructure. This included the renovation of girls’ and boys’ latrines, the construction of a dedicated girls’ safe room for menstrual hygiene, the installation of an incinerator, and the establishment of two handwashing stations each fitted with eight taps. Additionally, a 10,000-liter water tank tower with a storage tank was installed, and awareness education on SWASH and water management was conducted by our Community-Based Trainers at Magigiwe Primary School.
Further infrastructure improvements were made at Mapogoro B, Mlungu, and Msangaji Mpya Primary Schools, where a water tower carrying two 5,000-liter tanks was installed. In total, the project is expected to directly benefit 1,406 students (665 girls and 741 boys) alongside teachers and school staff. The project was officially handed over to the ward and village government, school committees, and school leadership for continued use and sustainability.
This project aims to provide a safe, inclusive, and healthier school environment that will increase student enrollment, reduce absenteeism, and promote academic performance. We extend our sincere gratitude to Nawiri Foundation for their partnership and generous support. Their contributions have made these vital improvements possible, significantly enhancing the well-being of students and the surrounding community.Further infrastructure improvements were made at Mapogoro B, Mlungu, and Msangaji Mpya Primary Schools, where a water tower carrying two 5,000-liter tanks was installed.
