TSEP is set up so that communities choose what infrastructure projects they implement. For the first round of infrastructure projects villages chose to install a transformer(s), regrade and gravel roads, construct a medical clinic, construct additional rooms at schools, and dredge or build irrigation canals. The communities contribute no less than 30% of the cost to implement the projects. <br />I think improved sanitation would be a great project, especially at schools, but the communities choose, not me or any other Mercy Corps employee. <br />Mikey is actually working with a NGO in Khorog who are building and educating people on new latrine designs. <br />Poop and what we do with it is important. Everyone knows I love a good poop conversation.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999914975815277645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543844169103995225.post-74773789867924312552011-01-24T04:36:11.753-08:002011-01-24T04:36:11.753-08:00Rock on Ali!

Have any of the projects been about providing better sanitation ? Bigger, better drop toilets with a washing apparatus perhaps?Danimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16138329298200857046noreply@blogger.com
