Detailed Narrative Description of Project:

Community participation can have a tremendous impact on the effectiveness and sustainability of water supply and sanitation programs. It can also help to minimize many of the potential negative environmental impacts associated with them.

In many cases, proper installation, use, and maintenance of wells, hand pumps, and latrines depends upon the community understanding how they work and viewing them as their property and, hence, their responsibility. For this to occur, the community must participate in the planning, site selection, design, construction, and monitoring of the various facilities.

To accomplish this level of community participation, adequate training in the proper construction, operation, and maintenance of the various facilities should be provided through the project. The main objective of the project is to raise awareness on health and sanitation related issues of the people of working area and establish self-reliant health system for preventing diseases. So People are mobilized to form groups and aware them on good health, hygiene and safe water.
