WATER AND SANITATION.
Water is a serious problem in the area, children in the area dodge classes
and arrive late at school giving the exercise of demand by their parents to fetch
water before they leave for school every morning. It is also a long distance
where by women and children who are vulnerable to this societal calling,
have to walk long distances to fetch water. Further water is also
contaminated where by there is an urgent need to construct spring wells to
improve the hygiene and eradicate water born diseases. |
