Earlhamite's latrine project to promote peace at Kenyan school

The Earlham College Podcast

Daniel Kibet’s ’19 path to Earlham started at a primary school in Kenya where classroom space was scarce and bathrooms were limited, unsanitary and broken. Eight years later, Kibet has a chance to improve the situation for his former school. He is the latest Earlhamite to be awarded $10,000 in funding to lead a summer peace prize. With funding from Earlham, Kibet will work with local builders to construct a simple latrine system and a hand-washing station while promoting health education, classes that are not actively offered at the 400-student school. The latrine system, with proper maintenance, can last for 20 years.
