pit toilets into modern water cistern toilets. All the children now use a water cistern toilet,
courtesy of Airtel.” he said.

dilapidated schools in rural areas and rehabilitates them at least for four years. This is in
line with Airtel’s commitment to improving the standard of education in Nigeria, and
since the inception, Airtel has remained committed to the development of these schools.
