More Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesIn Berhampur and Aska, 1% of households have toilets and 6% have water taps. Members of these communities rely on a public water tap for their drinking water source and the nearby pond/river for their bathing and washing water source. The lack of access to safe drinking water is compounded by poor hygiene habits, causing an increase in water-related diseases and child mortality.

ActivitiesProject will provide each household in this area with the opportunity and resources to obtain a loan of credit to fund and build their own water and sanitation facilities.
