LEI has developed a project with a Nepali NGO, Women Development Service Center, to bring water supply and sanitation services to village areas in the Dhanusha District of Eastern Nepal.
The Dhanusha District is severely under-served for water supply and sanitation needs. Water supply wells are few and far between, often requiring long distances to walk. In addition, wells are general constructed poorly and subject to bacterial and chemical contamination. This LEI project began early project development in the year 2000 and will bring over 50 water supply wells and 500 latrines to serve over 5000 people in several small villages throughout the Dhanusha District.
LEI contracted with a local Women’s development NGO to provide education on health and other social concerns, and to design, manage, operate, and maintain drinking water and sanitation systems.
Nepali project managers, engineers, and local labor are employed for construction, oversight and project implementation.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).
