Glenn's Bandhwad Village Sanitation Project
Glenn is raising money to provide Bandhwad with 16 toilet facilities and 2 soak pits
Glenn's Sanitation Project will fund the construction of 16 indoor sanitation units throughout Bandhwad, providing village households with access to proper indoor sanitation facilities. Local engineers will construct two separate facilities for men and women, each with 8 toilets and soak pit (sustainable, rural sewage treatment) units. This will also allow the community members to regain the time they used to spend walking to the outskirts of the village for more productive activities, and drastically reduce the spread of disease. In addition, children will be able to attend school with fewer interruptions. Glenn's project will greatly improve the health and well-being of the entire Bandhwad community.
Learn more about the project
What?
16 indoor sanitation facilities will be constructed, each with a private, flush-toilet. Sanitation facilities will also be connected to a soak pit, or sustainable septic tank, for waste treatment.
Why?
Lack of access to toilets directly affects the lives and livelihoods of the women workers who are forced to answer the call of nature in public view- putting them in a difficult, humiliating, and stressful situation. This lack of basic sanitation dramatically increases the spread of disease throughout the village. Absence of toilets in schools also forces children to leave their classes and walk long distances to relieve themselves, hindering their education.
How?
Construction for the project will be led by a SEWA engineer who is based in Patan district. Local workers from the Bandhwad community will be hired to complete construction and masonry work for this project.
