- Village Notes
- David and Steven went to kagulu nabigalata their intention of going there was have a community meeting aimed at accessing the work done ,what should be done next hence bring every community member on board as far as hygiene and sanitation are concerned.Because some committee members have not been working together hence leaving a big gap and more responsibility on Kibo staff and to a few committee members.kibo staff strongly encouraged all the committee members to work together for the betterment of kagulu nabigalata community.Kibo staff appreciated the lc1 of the village mr Sanyo who never had a toilet ,and now he constructed one. They went further and appreciated the five homes whose facilities were not up to standard for their effort in making them look better.Generally kagulu nabigalata is showing great progress as far as hygiene and sanitation are concerned.

The above pit latrine it's for mr Wilber mukasa who constructed A pit corverd it and he is already using it without a shelter on top of it and one of the committee member who was walking with kibo staff he said that,he is not always present in his home spends much time in the wetland carrying out rice farming.However they talked to the wife who were present she said that she will be passing the information to the husband.
The above is the irwaniro borehole which kibo is intending to repair.it has no soak pit and no fence. Therefore Kibo staffurged the members to fence the borehole and put stones in the soak pit,they said by the next Kibo,s village visit they would have got big poles and stones for the soak pit.
