A message from the community

Dear Sir: Disi school and the community at large hereby highly appreciate your kind support to their schol by providing 1: two door VIP latrine and 2: safe and clean protected drilled borehole. By providing those very essential items to the school and the community. Now both can live free of waterborn diseases and highly improved hygiene in the school and on a community level. Sir/madam you have just met part of our dream. We are still running and the road is still long due to 1: growing population of the school and 2: improvement in the girl child enrollment. We thereflre need more latrines to provide for the growing high population. We may say thank-you again for the great support to our cause. May God bless the ministry greatly in achieving your ever noble goals. Yours Faithfully John O Oriawo Head Teacher, Disi Primary School
