KDF have taken a step in monitoring the ecosan latrine at Kitoro Buyijja village. the community is still adapting to the new innovation as compared to the community views.
However the community started an adult literacy class is in place, an instructor has been identified the training is under way.
Mzee Kalizile a 90 year old mzee got a water jar constructed on his house; he has never dreamt of accessing clean water he says. he used to collect water from long distances but now it is at his door steps.
From those who received water jars KDF expected scale up however this has not taken place due to rampant poverty within the communities.
Hygiene and sanitaion in these places where waterjars were located is still good, dish racks and toilets are even clean. operation and maintenance is good as the gutters are still very intact and the painted colour is still original.
Thanks to the donors for the assistance extended for this noble cause of helping mankind.
