Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
The project aims to reduce the vulnerability of poor communities and improve their overall quality of life. Women's drudgery in household maintenance is reduced. Illnesses are reduced and an upward spiral of development is triggered in the villages.

I believe even the poorest people can and will pay for services that they consider are essential.
