Notes

On this visit, Martin and Enock planned to check on the progress of latrine construction, dish racks, shower areas, hand washing facilities, use of ash, rubbish pits and if it’s used, clean compounds, kitchen areas, cloth line and smeared facilities. They also planned to encourage, motivate, assess and evaluate the progress of latrine construction and other facilities. They walked around the section near the trading centre towards the swamp area where they had some target people who promised to start digging new latrines in their homes, some of the latrines were about to get full and some families didn’t have latrines at all. When they walked in the homes, they saw 10 new latrine pits which they are digging. Five of them are about 10ft deep, 3 are still like 5 ft deep and all are planing to dig 15ft and above. There are also some two newly constructed latrines in this area. They told the families to speed up and construct good standard facilities because there is open defection in some of those homes which are digging latrines. This gave us a chance to speak about the challenges which result due to open defection and the benefits of having all the facilities in place. In addition they attended a funeral which was taking place in this village. There was an old man who died of Tuberculosis and he is a resident of this village. They participated in some activities and sent their sincere condolences to the family which has lost the relative. While still at the funeral in a small meeting with some of the men in this village, they encouraged them to improve on the sanitation and hygiene of their village. Enock challenged them and asked them if a family which lost their beloved one didn’t have a latrine in place where will all these people who have come to the funeral go to ease themselves?. They all answered and said they will be ashamed and a lot of open defection will be in the place. They learnt the values of having a latrine in their homes at all times. They appreciated the work Kibo does and embrace the program.

Success

There are many new latrines which have been constructed in this village than before when there was a lot of open defection 

Village Critical Needs

They will need the Mvule program to teach them how to plant trees and the dangers of deforestation. This is because many people have cut down trees and not replaced any. They burn big logs to make charcoal for selling. 

Village Action Steps

To construct all the facilties in their homes say latrine, dish rack, shower areas, kitchen areas, rubbish pits as well as cleaning there compounds
