Project LOCATION: Cyanika, northern Rwanda

Project start/end date: March 2013-Sept 2014

This project is the implementation of the Deck the Stalls fundraising campaign! In December of 2012, our supporters helped raise the necessary funds to complete this much needed project. After the recent completion of the successful ‘pilot’ program testing out new “Ecosan” latrines in the community, where it is impossible to dig pit latrines due to soil density, we will now be working with our local partner and newly trained masons to build latrines for 50 homes. This desperately needed project will answer some of the communities most pressing sanitation needs - which will in-turn keep newly constructed rainwater catchment tanks, and safe water reserves, free from water borne illnesses previously spread by the lack of latrines.
