The image illustrates our ongoing project<\/strong>: the excavation of a septic tank. This is the very first step towards the installation of the first-ever sanitation infrastructure in the village's history. Our goal is to reinforce the health and well-being of the families in this community. In closely associating ourselves with the villagers, a core principle in our approach, we work hand in hand to provide them vital access to water and sanitation facilities, despite their isolation in the eastern part of Sumba.<\/p>\n

For several months now, our organizations – Fair Future and Gute Freunde<\/a> – have favored constructing lightweight steel facilities. This decision is based on hygiene, maintenance, and construction efficiency grounds. The entire structure (in this case, two toilet – shower stalls) <\/em>is constructed at the Fair Future Foundation’s base camp in Waingapu, called Rumah Kambera<\/a>. We then transport the dismantled structure to the site of installation. It takes about a week for our team to operationalize an installation like this, followed by one to two weeks dedicated to finishing and aesthetic touch-ups.<\/p>\n

In this underprivileged environment, families lack access to basic services, needs such as access to water or electricity are non-existent. During the dry season, when rainwater tanks are almost empty, they must travel miles to collect just a few litres of often unsuitable water. See the related #waterconnections<\/a> posts here.<\/p>\n

Im Dorf Laindatang<\/a>, inhabitants have never had the privilege of a working shower or toilet. The enthusiasm and joy are palpable as they witness the construction of these new facilities, bringing them a simple feeling of happiness.<\/p>\n

This installation will also contribute to reducing Infektionskrankheiten<\/a> caused by the absence of adequate sanitation facilities in the village. This will likely lead to an increase in the quality of life for the villagers, a reduction in the time spent gathering water, and promote overall community Gesundheit<\/a> and well-being. This initiative is more than just building sanitation facilities. It symbolizes the start of a new chapter for Laindatang, signifying change and development towards a healthier community.<\/p>\n

Thus, the work of Fair Future and Gute Freunde<\/a> extends beyond physical construction, promoting progress, health, and hope for the future.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":179,"featured_media":384382,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[653,1223,286],"tags":[472,450,434,505,457,498,433,436,435,561,519,429,550,432,438,566,426,431,455,468],"class_list":["post-384381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-laindatang-water-connections","category-picture-of-the-day","category-water-connections","tag-base-camp","tag-child-health","tag-clean-safe-water","tag-diarrhea","tag-ferro-cement","tag-healthy-life","tag-healthy-sanitation","tag-laindatang","tag-picture-of-the-day","tag-rainwater","tag-rural-areas","tag-sanitations","tag-sumba-timur","tag-toilets","tag-unsafe-water","tag-volunteers","tag-water-tank","tag-wc","tag-women-empowerment","tag-working-together"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
