The investigators will conduct a cluster-randomized trial to assess the impact of a school-based water, sanitation and hygiene program on health and educational outcomes of school children in Saravane Province, Laos. The intervention will include an improved water supply (borehole), a sanitation block that includes three pour-flush latrines with rainwater harvesting to be used for flushing and a urinal, and sinks for handwashing with soap. The school will also receive a facility for group handwashing (large pipe where many children can wash hands at once. United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) will additionally provide behavior change education. Our key outcome of interest is pupil absence, which will be measured longitudinally using roll-call on days of schools visits. Secondary outcomes include self-reported absence, diarrhea and respiratory infection of a random selection of students. The investigators will also monitor the fidelity of the intervention and assess school conditions and pupil sanitation and handwashing behaviors using structured observation.
