Sanitation

Project Description
Introduction:
Imagine having to go to the toilet outside. This unsafe practice not only presents serious health risks, but causes profound safety and dignity issues for women and children. In the rural village of Udawalawe, the lack of proper sanitation facilities had forced residents to resort to open defecation. To tackle this urgent issue, Impacting Asia is building 20 high quality, durable toilets. Thanks to generous donors, 15 toilets have already been built and we are aiming to raise funds for another 5 toilets by the end of 2026. Construction materials are locally sourced, contributing to the local economy. Awareness programs on proper sanitation practices are run to encourage behavioral change and promote the use of the newly built toilets. Donate today to help provide this community with a hygienic and safe solution, significantly improving public health and environmental conditions.

Report
Project Implementation:
The project implementation involved collaboration with local authorities, community leaders, and volunteers. Construction materials were sourced locally to support the village economy and reduce project costs. Skilled labor and supervision were provided to ensure the construction of high-quality, durable toilet facilities. Additionally, awareness programs on proper sanitation practices were conducted to encourage behavioral change and promote the use of the newly built toilets.
Challenges Faced:
During the implementation of the project, a major challenge was the limited budget and resources available for constructing additional toilets to meet the high demand in the community. Moreover, logistical and transportation constraints added complexities to the delivery of construction materials and equipment to the project site.
Request for Aid:
Given the impact of the initial 15 toilets on the community and the continued need for improved sanitation, we are appealing for aid to build more toilets in Udawalawe village. The expansion of this project will significantly benefit the community by addressing the widespread issue of open defecation and its associated health and environmental hazards.
Conclusion:
The sanitization project in Udawalawe village has made notable strides in providing essential sanitation facilities to the community. The impact of improved sanitation on public health, dignity, and environmental sustainability cannot be overstated. However, the need for additional toilets remains critical. With the support of aid organizations and concerned stakeholders, we can further empower the community and enhance the overall well-being of Udawalawe village.
