As a result, numerous fatalities brought on by contaminated water and subpar sanitation have been documented globally. In addition, the financial resources of Uganda and other low-income nations have been depleted by the need to treat newly discovered water-borne diseases. The current study looked at problems with installing a water and sewage system at Winterland Primary School. Field visits, interviews, baseline data collection, and line surveys were all used to help the study reach its goals. Data on baseline conditions and hygienic risks for the school were gathered as part of the investigation. Reusing garbage was also made more widely known. Better solid waste management strategies, like composting and solid waste separation, were consequently proposed and put into practice. Numerous WASH initiatives, including training sessions, health education, demonstrations, making liquid soap, and installing tippy taps, were carried out in conjunction with school health clubs. In collaboration with the school stakeholders, we added an additional Bio-sand filter during the study to match the water demand. Finally, the implemented plan created a dynamic and well-maintained environment, allowing for a connection to the UN Development Agenda.

Keywords Cooperation, health threat, Solid waste management, WASH initiatives, water treatment. INTRODUCTION: Children have a right to access to basic water and sanitation facilities, including school restrooms, solid waste bins, clean drinking water, environmental cleaning services, and basic hygiene education, in any school setting. Economic growth depends on infrastructure. it increases access to necessities like power and clean water, fosters employment growth, and stimulates economic activity. The absence of clean water is at the core of so many diseases and illnesses, thus finding a solution to the clean water crisis would help to solve many issues. Nevertheless, a global monitoring report by the World Health Organization and the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (WHO/UNICEF) claimed that 367 million people continued to use unimproved sources and 122 million people were still drinking surface water (UNICEF/WHO, 2021).
