Orientation on Safe Drinking Water and Waterborne Disease:

According to the project work plan of the fiscal year 2011, we have completed 2 days orientation on ''Safe Drinking Water and Waterborne Disease" in five VDCs. Before started the orientation, we have informed Mr. Jayaram Karki, Officer of District Public Health Office about our work and the orientation program. We had requested him to provide qualified trainer to conduct the training effectively. As per our discussion, he told us that he will inform the health post in-charge of five VDCs to support our program. After that we had visited the Health post of the 5 of our working VDCs and made interaction with all the Health post in charge. They had accepted our proposal and we have made an agreement (LOU) with trainer for the orientation. Two participants from each WASH group were selected for the orientation. Participants were enthusiastically and eagerly participated in the training. They showed their commitments to share their learning among their groups and in their ward. Overall the orientation was focused on raising awareness on safe drinking water, water born disease by contaminated water, method of purifying water, to impart the knowledge on management of water during flood and rainy season. There were 107 (54 Male and 53 Female) participants in total from 5 VDCs.
