SANITATION

Sanitation has been a top priority in the overall Msema project as evidenced in the construction of more than 14 toilets together with urinary rooms at The Australian Primary School alone, quite apart from the others built at the mini-orphanages, the Mothers and Babies Health Care Centre, the diesel mill site, and the site of the 2 retail shops not far from the village.

Just recently, sponsored by The Australian AIDS Fund, and in hand with its Searchlight Orphan Care partner, local builders were engaged to demonstrate the construction of re-informed concrete toilet slabs..vital for better sanitation systems that reduce the risk of injury and disease.

The demonstration was part of the Hygiene and Sanitation Seminar course which attracted a good turnout of men, women and children...all keenly interested to see and hear about how their living standards could be improved by focussing on improved sanitation and more modern toilet systems that'll eventually provide another significant bonus......fertiliser to help their crops grow.
