An awakening for the community

P1010054
Dear Alice and Brad,

Steven Kaziba is a 37 year old carpenter who resides in Nawansenga B village, Iganga District, with his wife and 5 children. The baseline survey of Nawasenga B village indicated that the village had only one tippy tap, reflecting the poor state of sanitation in the village.

Since Steven is a carpenter, he was happy to put together the tippy tap once we showed him the design. When asked how he felt now that he had a hand washing device, he said that we have awakened his community, as the sanitation was poor and therefore the installation of tippy taps has improved cleanliness not only in his home, but throughout the village as well.  Steven then joined in for the rest of the sanitation push, installing tippy taps for his neighbors and friends. Steven Kaziba and his family are very grateful to UVP and to Alice and Brad for helping improve sanitation in their village.
