The schools sanitation crisis continues

More than a decade after national outrage over deadly pit latrines, many Limpopo schools still lack safe and adequate sanitation. While most pit toilets have been demolished, learners are often left relying on overcrowded and poorly maintained chemical toilets as promised infrastructure projects stall.

Today 22 May, is a special one – It’s United Nations International .

This year’s theme ‘Acting Locally for Global Impact’ emphasizes that small actions taken by individuals, communities, schools, businesses and local governments, can collectively make a major difference globally.

The message is that global biodiversity goals cannot be achieved, only, through international agreements, they depend on local action everywhere.

There are many ways in which we can all play our part, by protecting local ecosystems, restoring damaged environments, reducing pollution, conserving water and wildlife, planting indigenous trees, supporting sustainable farming and fishing, and educating those around you about the importance of biodiversity.

It's important because it supports life on Earth, including human life, creating healthy ecosystems, food security, medicine & science, climate regulation, economic value as well as cultural and spiritual importance

Loss of biodiversity leads to: ecosystem collapse, food shortages, increased disease spread, weaker climate resilience and the extinction of species.

Today, W12+ Programs, our International Blueprint and Governance arm, Launches "Blue Dignity", a circularity community program, providing safe water, dignified sanitation, waste to value and the food nexus. The program is in partnership with and and we are thrilled to have our Honourable Chairman presenting this circularity program at the United NationsHQ today.

Huge Thanks to SABC news for covering the news story on the Babheke School project in Lusikisiki, Eastern Cape.

The more awareness we can bring to the people of South Africa, about the Water & Sanitation Crisis in no-fee schools, the more people may focus on it and help create change.

Unfortunately, this crisis has been going on for years and it’s not that interesting for media to cover anymore. We need to keep the story alive and in people’s minds.

The biggest obstacles are funding and scale – the need is enormous and many rural schools are difficult to access and underserved.
The Forgotten Schools.
WE SEE YOU.

Any caring corporates who would like to partner with us to reach more pit toilet schools, please reach out to me at [email protected]

The private sector's drive to eradicate pit latrines at schools in ...

18/05/2026

EradicaTour – one of our ‘Out of the Blue Programs’ are focusing on eliminating unsafe, illegal Pit Toilets in no-fee schools, across South Africa.
We are currently working in the Eastern Cape and have 50 schools, on our list, to reach, just in the Lusikisiki & Mount Ayliff areas.
There are hundreds of schools that still have really really poor sanitation and pit toilets are an extremely dangerous facility for young children.
This week, we have been at BABHEKE Primary School in Lusikisiki with 267 learners.
Over the last weeks we have demolished their existing pit toilets, which were in a very poor state and replaced them with non-sewered sanitation (NSS) toilets, with the ability to create fertilizer to grow food gardens and, at a later stage, convert waste into bio-char for cooking and heating.
Due to severe lack of water access, we have drilled a deep borehole creating a water distribution system, which will provide water, not only for Babheke School, but for the neighbouring village also.
They currently rely on rain-water harvesting and a stream, which are all below drinking water standard.
The learners were drinking directly from rain-water harvested water, with no filters or treatment and thus getting sick very often. We need to reach schools that still have unsafe and poor sanitation and water access, it is vital to save lives.
We raise funding by partnering with caring organisations that understand the need to tackle the sanitation crisis in SA. Please reach out to me if you are one of them: [email protected]
We Thank for their funding contribution to the new toilets at Babheke and we Thank Mark & Kathie Miller Foundation for their funding contribution to the borehole, water storage and innovative distribution system and water access to this Xhosa community of greater Lusikisiki, as well as to for support of our Dignity Hub.
We also Thank .sa the amazing, committed and passionate for collaborating with us on this essential project. Here’s to MANY MORE!

EradicaTour – one of our ‘Out of the Blue Programs’ are focusing on eliminating unsafe, illegal Pit Toilets in no-fee schools, across South Africa.

We are currently working in the Eastern Cape and have 50 schools, on our list, to reach, just in the Lusikisiki & Mount Ayliff areas.

There are hundreds of schools, that still have really really poor sanitation and pit toilets are an extremely dangerous facility for young children.

Over the past few weeks, we have been at BABHEKE Primary School in Lusikisiki with 267 learners. We have demolished their existing pit toilets, which were in a very poor state and replaced them with non-sewered sanitation (NSS) toilets, with the ability to create fertilizer, to grow food gardens and, at a later stage, convert waste into bio-char for cooking and heating.

Due to severe lack of water access, we have drilled a deep borehole, creating a water distribution system, which will provide water, not only for Babheke School, but for the neighbouring village also.

Their current reliance on rain-water harvesting and a stream is very unsafe. The learners were drinking directly from rain-water harvested water, with no filters or treatment and thus getting sick very often.

Water and sanitation diseases cause 3.5 million deaths each year through Cholera, Typhoid, Dysentery and Diarrheal diseases.

This is equivalent to a jumbo jet crashing every hour!!

Diarrheal diseases ALONE kills more than half a million children, globally, every year, which is a figure higher than deaths caused by HIV, AIDS, Malaria and Measles combined.

Having safe, hygienic sanitation, with water & soap access for washing hands, is one of the most cost effective ways of saving children’s lives.

It is an exceptionally successful public health intervention. It can reduce diarrhea by half, reduce respiratory infections by one third and has a major impact on reducing flu, pneumonia, cholera, ebola and the Covid19 virus.

We need to reach schools that still have unsafe and poor sanitation and water access, it is vital to save lives.

We raise funding by partnering with caring organisations, that understand the need to tackle the sanitation crisis in SA. Please reach out to me if you are one of them: [email protected]
