Introduction
The main focus for the last quarter has been the continued construction of composting toilets and supporting platforms for rainwater harvesting systems in Moturik
Report
A need for action is highlighted by recent devastating outbreaks of typhoid in the area, in addition to the effect of severe droughts seen in recent years. Our focus in 2019 has extended to construction-based activities in Moturiki, to decrease the risk of health issues resulting from lack of freshwater availability. This has included work on the installation of rainwater harvesting systems and composting toilets.
There has also been a steady effort directed towards the construction of additional cement platforms, integral to the longevity of rainwater harvesting systems to be put in place. Two have been completed in the last quarter in the village of Navuti. This was thanks to the fundraising done in the earlier parts of the year, and the many hours of labour carried out by the volunteers and the people of Moturiki.
