A "clean village". The first of many with your help.

Planting trees by the river

Nandri takes great pride at the remarkable speed with which sanitation cover has increased in the last two years. To date we have supported 45 families to construct toilets in their homes and facilitated 58 families to receive support from the government to build toilets in their homes. Besides helping them to establish the infrastructures, we are also concentrating on creating awareness on using the toilets, conservation of water resources and the importance of planting trees. We conducted various training programs on the above topics for the mothers and more than 300 mothers have benefited from this programme.

One of our initiatives is to plant more trees and to date approximately 5000 seeds have been planted on the banks of lakes in various villages. Mothers and their children were involved in this project.

Outcome of the project:

1. One village has become clean with no more outside defecation, which has increased the health of women and children in the village.

2. Mothers have been given awareness on health and hygiene which will be passed on to the children in the families. This education on hygiene will continue to be passed on now from generation to generation.

3. Mothers are motivated to plant trees and the 5000 seeds that we have planted will store water in the lake and create cool atmosphere in the village which will protect the people from diseases.

4. Training on hand washing will educate the mothers on its importance.

It is thanks to you, our generous donors, that we can continue with this important work. Our mothers and their families have benefited enormously from this project and with your ongoing suppport, we will continue this vital project for our community.
