Improved sanitation has been an ancillary benefit of community water availability. 1,430
Water is the foundation from which all things grow. We expect that this community will receive many benefits beyond access to clean, safe drinking water. Drinking Water - Community
Drinking Water - Households
Women in this community spend most of their time looking for water. Children do not attend school because of the lack of clean water. Mothers and their children walk 8 km to a shallow hand-dug well for water currently. Waterborne diseases are on the rise. The community will benefit in the following ways: reduced distance to water point, decline in waterborne diseases, and increased time for women to attend to other productive business. The well will be used for the following: domestic purposes and livestock, farming, and as a community meeting point. $0
A water committee has been established. They will be responsible for well maintenance and monitoring as well as overseeing the community fund. They will also communicate with TSP if any problems arise.The community fund we be put in motion once the well is drilled in August 2011. |
