Improvements to basic sanitation in child care centres in the Altos del Estiquirín community.

Public educational centers present significant challenges in terms of infrastructure for basic sanitation, negatively impacting the health and well-being of children, even more so with the resumption of in-person instruction in the context of the Covid19 pandemic. That is why Fundación Agrolíbano has prioritized the conditions for basic sanitation and manages improvement projects through allies.

In this regard, a sanitary module with bathrooms, a septic tank, a sink, a cistern, and an above-ground tank with a pumping system is being built at the Adolfo López Canales school in the Altos del Estiquirín community to ensure access to water for hygiene. In addition, another sanitary module with bathrooms, a sink, and a septic tank is being built in the same community at the early childhood care center, where nutritional monitoring and early stimulation activities are carried out. This project is funded by Honduras Outreach Inc. (HOl), an organization that contributes to improving living conditions in communities in the southern zone in partnership with Fundación Agrolíbano, thus contributing to SDGs 3, 4, 6, 16, and 17.
