 Handwashing with soap is the most effective & inexpensive way to prevent diarrheal & acute respiratory infections, which take the lives of millions of children in developing countries.

Together, they are responsible for the majority of all child deaths.

Campaign for Open Free Defecation Zone

A dog can't use latrine, but you can. Have a latrine yet?

In financial support of Fida International Nepal, New Life Service Association (NSA) is implementing its project under Water and Sanitation (WASH) project in 5 VDCs of Kailali district. 

The project has been started from 2011 and will completed in 2014. We have 54 WASH groups in each cluster of these VDCs. Through these WASH groups we are campaigning sanitation activities. Under this project we have a purpose of declaring Open Free Defecation Zone for at least 2 VDCs until 2014. 

From this year 2012, we have started to support to build low cost toilet to poor and marginal family from our coverage area. 

Please be with us and pray for us for the successful of this campaign. God created this beautiful nature and we people had destroyed it.
