Access to good water, sanitation facilities and hygiene education promotes good health and enhances national development. This paper describes how the intervention of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) projects in 11 rural primary schools, by KINNAPA organization in collaboration with WaterCan, improved school performance and created better learning environments for students from pastoralist families in Kiteto, Tanzania.
