Impact of girls in education...Enables them to make informed choices about their
health.They get immunisations and health treatment for
themselves and their babies. Reduces child mortality as better informed about caring for themselves during
pregnancyCan earn20% more wages improving family nutrition and
health and therefore reducing poverty.They are more likely to avoid HIV . Studies show girls in secondary education are 3 times less likely to be HIV+
Higher chance of not being exploited and forces into early marriage
Educated girls are inclined to give birth to less children. For every 4 years additional education they have 1 less
pregnancy.

Sanitation
School Toilet Block- Pit latrines
Sanitation stops the cycle of contamination from fields so the water tables are not polluted,and children in bare feet are more likely to carry infections from faeces into their homes.
Inadequate sanitation increases:1.Diarrhoeal diseases2.Spread of intestinal worms3. Lack of dignity and safety- especially for girls

How schools are affected by lack of clean water and inadequate sanitation...
• Children are required to collect water during class time for use at school
• This means they miss hours of lesson time each day• The water is needed to clean the toilets, and for drinking by
both teachers and pupils• The water collected is often contaminated causing water–
bourne diseases which impact their performance at school• Many pupils walk long distances and do not drink ALL day
until they go home in the evening • HALF of all girls drop out of school because of no water or
sanitation at school. • An ADDITIONAL 10% of girls of puberty age do not attend
school during mensturation
