New toilets improve sanitation at schools in remote Son La

Hope Foundation and its partners have completed 11 school toilet facilities in Song Ma, Son La Province, replacing makeshift facilities used for more than 20 years.

Hope Foundation, with support from Opella Vietnam and BW Industrial, has completed 11 school toilet facilities in remote communes of Song Ma, Son La Province, under its School Hygiene Project.

Built to Ministry of Education and Training standards, each facility has six to 12 rooms, helping ease overcrowding and improve sanitation for students.

The project also provided training for teachers and school managers on hygiene education, equipping them with practical knowledge and teaching methods to run programs and maintain hygiene standards after the facilities are handed over.
