The VHT (Village Health Teams) and local leaders used in distribution of awareness materials pledged to ensure improved hygiene standards.
CHALLENGES
There is a high demand for the project in other schools and villages yet the coverage was limited due to the available funding.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
