Ownership Story
In the two sections A and B members, the members have managed to construct fences on the two boreholes and also the majority of the community members are working hard to improve on their sanitation standards. 
Three Stone Fires
yes 
Access to Clean Water
no 
Open Defecation
no 
Water Access Explain
Both members in A and B get water from the two boreholes which have holes in the pipes. 
Prevent Ownership
The members have reduced on the time of working, maintaining and improving on their home hygiene facilities as much of their time these days is being spent on garden work instead of balancing their time equally. 
Allow Ownership
The committee members are hard working more especially mr Kagawa Wilson and mr mwanja Nelson. 
Village Notes
The community members in b have worked and are working so first and steadily as compared to those in A. Therefore the committee members emphasised that both them and Kibo staff need to put more efforts in section A to bring everyone on board as far as sanitation improvement are concerned.

Ws Notes
David and Steven went to nawampiti to continue encouraging the few homes that were lagging behind as far as sanitation improvement is concerned. They first moved to the traditional doctors home to check on the progress in there and fortunately they found the traditional doctor himself in his home. He had all the rest of the other facilities in place except the dish rack and the rubbish pit. He told David that he has not been around he had gone to the islands to get more traditional herbs or medicines for his patients .He asked David and Steven to give him four days to complete working on the two missing facilities. They headed to the next home of mr mwota Grace where they found good improvement as mr mwota,s wife has been working on all the facilities which were not in good condition on behalf of her husband who comes in awhile as he lives in kampala. for example the latrine which didn’t have a wall and a roof shelter. She continued and said that she will be constructing a dish rack-which was the only facility missing. In mr ,waiswa,s home, they found no progress because he had dug only two feet and stubbornly constructed on top of the pit .He said that he did so because they grew up when their late grand father used to advise them not to have a pit latrine because one of their grand mothers son fell in the latrine. Kibo staff spent almost two hours talking to this family to change their way thinking. They told them to fist check on the number of times their kids fall sick. They said almost every two weeks. David and Steven gave them an example of one of the kids in that family who had a swollen stomach and that the only way of them getting out of such issues and sickness was to improve on their sanitation and hygiene from bedroom to the compound. When David and Steven asked their neighbours how often they fall sick, they said not of recent as they have their facilities. Mr waiswa thanked them for the good advise and asked them for two weeks. In another home of mr kagawa, they found him working on his rubbish pit as he had completed digging it. They also asked him about the borehole contribution he said they have so far contributed 130000 but he said they will be visiting the rest of the homes which have not contributed yet. they thanked him for loving his village and continued encouraging him and other members to continue working together for the better improvement of their village. Generally on the side of latrine coverage,dish rack,rubbish pit construction the are in their upper 80,s.They gave an assignment to the committee members to continue moving home to home encouraging those lagging behind to work and improving on their facilities which were not meeting the required hygiene standards as well as encouraging those who had not paid their borehole contributions to do so in time.
