Description
The project is to be implemented by Kuvumbana, and aims to improve sanitation and avoid pollution through building of 50 improved latrines to families of HIV/ AIDS patients and orphan children. The project site is located by the margins of Limpopo River in Inhamissa and Marien N’Gouabi villages of City of Xai-Xai. Additionally Kuvumbana will raise awareness to community villagers on issues like water conservation, sanitation, mitigation of surface and groundwater pollution by organic wastes, and prevention of diseases like malaria and cholera caused by land degradation. The project will contribute to protection of lake, riverine, and coastal species that exist within the project area.
The project was designed by Kuvumbana together with local authorities. Community facilitators will work closely with extension workers from agriculture and environmental services. Those will work at household level building capacity of communities to adequately manage the environment and improve sanitation.
