Clean water, sanitation and hygiene are fundamental to community health and have therefore long been a core component of CPAR’s work.
Basic water and sanitation efforts include
•the construction of water points
using appropriate technologies such as spring cropping (protecting existing springs)
•bore holes (deep wells) and
•rainwater harvesting, as well as
•the construction of improved pit latrines and
•hand washing facilities.

I saw only one hole in the ground toilet that had no water container (with spigot) and soap bar located directly beside the latrines.
Through these efforts, CPAR is helping communities to protect themselves by managing the vectors of disease (I’m still getting used to AID Agency vernacular).

These efforts are also supporting women whose labor burden is reduced when water sources are constructed closer to home.
Hygiene training is also conducted as part of this work.
Once local community groups (clubs) are trained to teach the skills – then teaching takes place using Music, Drama and Dance (or MDD).
The picture in the top left is an academy award winner (in my books). The woman playing the role of the man was brilliant.
This character is the head of one house that will not follow CPAR’s rules of sanitation and hygiene. He/she thinks they’re stupid until he just about dies from a water born illness. After that he becomes the obnoxious neighbour who is telling everybody about CPAR’s clean water, sanitation and hygiene programs and insisting they “get on board.”

I had lots of dance pictures I could have put in here but I decided to give you “Sponge Bob Boy” as a way of reminding myself to show you his dance. I’m sure he is the leader of this threesome and they’re great. Watch…
