MBABANE, Eswatini – The U.S. Embassy in Eswatini celebrated the successful completion of a brand new sanitation facility at Makhungutja Primary School on Tuesday. The project, funded through the Ambassador’s Special Self-Help Program, represents a significant investment in the well-being of students and the wider community.
The new facility, equipped with 12 toilets, will directly benefit over 380 students, 15 teachers, and support staff at the school. Additionally, the improved sanitation facilities will serve more than a thousand parents and community members who utilize the school for meetings and events.
The project is a testament to the long-standing partnership between the United States and Eswatini in the area of community development. The U.S. Embassy, through the Ambassador’s Special Self-Help Program, awarded a grant of approximately 148,000 Emalangeni to support the construction of the sanitation facilities.
“The Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini and the United States have a long history of partnership in the field of community development,” said Acting Deputy Chief of Mission Jolanta Mikiewicz. “The U.S. government is proud to assist community groups in developing projects that improve the quality of life, especially for children.”
