Rationale of the
Project
RRN is implementing
development phase of Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Schemes
(sixth batch) in Sankhuwasabha for six groups or communities
– Tallo Syabun, Mathillo Syabun, Tallo Sibhuwa, Mathillo
Sibhuwa, Sattare Khahere and Khaptua. After surveying, field
study and discussion with the community members necessity
for the community were identified, among them Water Supply
and Sanitation system was most important one. The present
existing sources for water are polluted; located at distance,
have to wait long to collect water So the women had to spend
the whole day for fetching water. As a result, they couldn’t
do other work or could not go to work to earn their living.
Besides, the community also has to face health problems and
village environmental hygiene problems which leads to health
hazards like waterborne diseases, diarrhea etc. Therefore,
all community people from different ethnic group were united
for the well being and prosperity of their society, and were
ready to contribute labor (skilled/ unskilled), technical
skill and assist in almost all work on which they could contribute.
They have a strong feeling that if water supply and sanitation
problem is solved, they will be perfectly fit and healthy,
literate and be benefited in other fields as well.
