Site profile

Oloika.

Oloika relied on a water pan located 1 km away. This meant learners often had to trek to fetch water during school hours. The pan was open and used by animals, compromising water quality. Toilets were in poor condition, and there were no soap or handwashing stations, putting pupils at high risk of illness.
