Fly, below is a small example of a recent water/sanitation project - the improvements to a village are incredible.
Meet Mr Boundao...for the 1st time in his life, he has his own toilet! ?? ? Till now, his family would defecate right outside the house, their animals would eat the faeces and bring disease to the family and village due to poor sanitation. His family was often sick due to the close contact between humans and animals. This problem was particularly bad during the rainy season. But they didn't know any different......
Our partners lived and worked alongside 4 villages in the area, providing proper sources of clean water, toilets for most households, hygiene education and training to maintain the systems. Mr Boundao now understands the importance of hygiene and good sanitation. He was able to build his own toilet close to his house, and thanks to the new water system in the village, he and his family have enough water to drink, wash themselves AND flush their toilet!
Mr Boundao is very thankful for the huge improvement the project has brought to his life and his village
