WASH in the Jedeit el Joumeh school

The arche noVa team visits the new sanitary rooms.

Participation desired: Children learn good hygiene practices playfully and with lots of information.

The importance of washing hands is also shown by information boards in the boys' and girls' toilets.

The new water system was installed on the roof of the school.

The chlorination plant (centre) and the reverse osmosis plant (left) for the treatment of part of the water to drinking water form the heart of the plant.

The drinking water tank is only opened for maintenance purposes. The container is made of food-safe plastic and has three wall layers so that the water does not heat up too much in the sun.

Das Trinkwasser wird zu den neuen Wasserhähnen in der Pausenhalle geleitet.

From now on, all 550 children at Jedeit el Joumeh School will have access to safe drinking water and new school toilets.

Fadi Mouawad from the local arche noVa team is pleased with how good the sanitary facilities look. He was responsible for the construction of the school.

Teachers have a lot to do every day. They work in two shifts. In the morning the Lebanese children are taught, in the afternoon the children who have fled from Syria are taught.

Ezzat Yousef is very grateful that the water problem was solved at his school.
