Update on Katie M’s Latrines: She Made the Challenge!
Katie reports:
“This Friday and Saturday we will be receiving material for 40 more latrines and doing some interactive education with the group about how to change habits and help children to use the new "technology." Today we are monitoring all the latrines already made to make sure they are being maintained well.”
With some funds left over, Katie is deciding what to do next, from among many worthwhile possibilities. One exciting concept is that she use some funds to provide child toilet seats for the latrines. With “compliance” always an issue in sanitation projects, this would help ensure that children would be able to use the latrines without fear.
We’ll keep you updated as the construction moves to completion. We are struck by the success of the campaign, and we hope that we will be able to capture the essence of the process so that it can be replicated at other times and in other places.
We at Water Charity wish to add our thanks to those of Katie, and express our gratitude to each and every donor who made it happen.
