Mozambique: Building latrines to save children's lives

Installing latrines in a school might not seem to be a significant step for protecting children, but in fact it is. Building latrines in schools will increase the likelihood that children will use the latrines instead of open fields that may be close to drinking water sources – thereby helping preserve drinking water quality. Maintaining clean drinking water is one of the fundamental approaches in UNICEF’s work for reducing child deaths.
