PROJECT REPORT
FOR
BUILD TOILETS FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN IN NIGERIA.

Project Initiated by

Vista Infinity Initiative

As change agent, our main area of focus are the mind (the centre of knowledge), the heart (the well
spring of creativity and proactivity) and the mentality (the centre of the individuals well being).

We understand that change is as much internal as it is external, thus a positive change in the internal
environment of an individual will greatly affect his external world.

OUR MISSION

We are mission driven to enable people visualize, achieve and maximize their given talents and
potentials.

We believe that every individual irrespective of his or her background is born with unique talents and
potentials.

OUR VISION

Get people to know and develop their worth- physically, mentally and psychologically.

When an individual is aware of his or her worth physically, mentally and psychologically, they have value
for their lives are thus are goal oriented and positive agents of change in the their world and
environment.

Vista Infinity Initiative was founded by Ms. Esther Umeadi Ebenuwah. A Bachelors and Masters of
Science degree holder in Marketing from Delta State University Abraka and the University of Nigeria
Enugu Campus. The vision of Vista Infinity Initiative was birthed out of the need to serve and make a
difference in the life of a youth, woman and child because these class of individuals make up the fabric
of society and most times when the fabric is not woven well, it affects the entire system in a subtle and
yet enormous way.

Vista Infinity Initiative is an initiative that is passionate about positive and proactive societal change; we
are a 21st century oriented non-governmental organization, with a 3 dimensional focus on LEADERSHIP,
ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

We aim for value in the form of transformational change that will be of benefit to disadvantaged
communities and ultimately the society at large. To this end we pioneer innovative and systemic
approaches for meeting the needs of the disenfranchised and marginalized population that lack the
means and the clout to achieve lasting benefits of their own.
PROJECT: BUILD TOILETS FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN IN OGBE-AFOR PRIMARY SCHOOL ASABA, ZAPPA
PRIMARY SCHOOL ASABA, COMMUNITY PRIMARY SCHOOL UGBOLU, OKOH AMAKOM PRIMARY
SCHOOL OKO AND OGBE-OLIE PRIMARY SCHOOL CABLE POINT, ASABA.

LOCATION: The Schools are all located within Delta State, Nigeria.

BACKGROUND HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL.

These primary Schools were founded by European Missionaries in the latter part of the 19th century. The
Schools were originally meant for girls only, but it later metamorphosed into a mixed School in the early
1970s, after the Nigerian civil war.

The named schools has turned out notable Nigerians amongst whom are Mrs. Miriam Babangida, late
wife of the former Nigerian head of state, Mrs. May Omo, wife of Late Justice Omo and hundreds of
others. The School has a rich culture of success and credibility over the decades. This is justified by the
quality of pupils they register for the common entrance examinations into secondary schools.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION.

An appraisal of the current state of the aforementioned schools showed that most of the toilet blocks
are dilapidated and need urgent attention in order to save them from total collapse. The structures are
old and not of standard, the roofs are seriously leaking, the ceiling boards are completely destroyed, the
walls are blighted and toilets holes for the ones that are pit toilets are very worn out and weak that it
could collapse with a little pressure.

The need for a conducive learning environment at the primary school level cannot be over emphasized.
There is a psychological correlation between a clean and decent learning environment and assimilation
levels. Learning is enhanced when the school (by extension the toilets) are in good conditions. These
include:

• Structural stability
• Weather exclusion(Roofs and ceilings)
• Good flooring
• Good fenestrations(Doors and Windows)
• Appropriate paintings and finishes.
• Functional toilet materials and furniture
• Electrical/Mechanical services
• Lighting(Natural and Mechanical)
