25 Villages - Rural Water, Health, Hygiene, and Sanitation Project

The people who live in the 25 villages involved in the Health & Hygiene Project have only one or two contaminated water wells that serve the whole community. Local people lug their dirty buckets to the well and fill them with brown, foul water that they use for cooking, cleaning, bathing, and drinking. 

Etta Projects has connected with local NGOs, the Prefecture,municipalities and local communities to create a sustainable water system in each village. The partnering institutions are responsible for creating the infrastructure while Etta Projects is charged with implementing the education component.

Etta Projects is working alongside health centers, schools, community leaders, and families to solve health, hygiene, and sanitation problems. The solutions are not sophisticated or costly. Rather, they are a process of developing sustainable improvements to unhygienic habits and creating opportunities that will bring local voices into the process of advocating for future change.
