The steps that we at
C.A.R.T have followed so
far:
1. |
We have been in
contact with
O.R.Tambo's
water manager,
Mr Eric Mzayiya
through email. |
2. |
We have spoken
to Mr Poyo who
is the one
responsible for
water management
in the P.S.J
area. |
3. |
We have
approached the
clinic to
propose placing
a survey
document related
to water hygiene
and sanitation,
in the clinic
for patients to
fill out (thus
creating
awareness among
them as well)
which has been
translated and
placed in the
clinic.
|
4. |
We have been
working with the
local J.S.S
school in the
area to promote
education on
water hygiene
and sanitation. |
5. |
We have done
research on
cholera and
other water born
diseases. |
6. |
We have designed
probable water
filtration
processes that
are simple and
applicable to
rural life. |
7. |
We have located
the source of
the village
water supply and
have concluded
that it is in a
poor state of
maintenance.(presence
of animal,
rodent and human
defecation.) |
8. |
We have had a
meeting with the
villagers to
highlight the
need for water
management. Only
30/40 percent of
them were
already taking
such
precautions. |
9. |
We have
requested the
help of SABC to
provide us with
DVDs aimed at
child education
concerning water
hygiene and
sanitation. |
