Ablutions and Hygiene
KILT funds school-employed ablution supervisors to improve the upkeep of the ablution facilities at schools so that amenities are safe, functional and hygienic. As a result, there are 24 ablution supervisors, and a recent survey of hygiene standards in learner ablution facilities yielded an 87% score.
School safety
Many Knysna schools experience break-ins, vandalism, and violence in the community. KILT began funding safety officers at some schools, and their visible presence has made a significant difference.
As a result, there has been a sharp reduction in vandalism and reports of violence, including of gang activity – in sharp contrast to previous years.
We have also provided schools with security upgrades to secure new e-learning resources.
In addition, there has been a greater collaboration between school safety personnel and the Safe Schools Project. There are 18 Safety Officers in the schools that are most at risk.
