The main objective of the project was to improve the health of local people thereby improving WATSAN facilities in the communities and build the capacity of locals through income generating activities.
It was found that the Achievements of the project was huge that has been summarized below :
• Altogether 24 community mobilizers were provided TOT on safe drinking water, SLTS and solid waste management. They further trained 371 people in the community and 394 students.
• Capacity building training on gender, leadership and health and hygiene was provided to 126 people.
• Altogether 13 skill development training was provided to 162 people.
• Child club was formed in 11 schools where all the clubs are actively involved in cleanliness activities.
• In a total 224 households are using colloidal silver filter to treat their drinking water.
• Altogether 1442 people were made aware on safe drinking water and clean sanitation.
• Altogether 13 WATSAN construction activities were done where the overall beneficiary was 7000 people.
• Altogether 121 toilets have been constructed in 7 communities.
Beneficiary Population/community:
Direct beneficiary - Access to toilet (121 HHs), Household using water treatment options (224 HHs)
Indirect beneficiary – 9640 people
There are still few activities which are still incomplete due to political conflict and insufficient support from the local community. For e.g. the construction of greenery park at Dhulikhel Bus-Park has not progressed. There are bins placed at various spots but it is seen that waste is thrown outside the bin.
However, there is still hope that once the attitude of the people is changed, it will not take time to achieve the goals towards healthy community and development. There requires continuity in this project to achieve the desired impact of the project in the future.
