As part of the programme, families (including Maama kamida) received a hygienic latrine. They used to defecate in bushes, especially children because they couldn’t manage to scot on the big hole they were using as a pit latrine at home and they could always be in danger of deadly diseases like diarrhea.

The family also learned how to maintain their new latrine and how to store water and how to properly wash their hands to avoid getting sick.

“We are much healthier now” , “We haven’t had as much diarrhea and dysentery.”
