Hello!Madi
Water and Sanitation Solutions in Limpopo, South Africa. We understand that the bulk of these fatalities happen in children under 5. We want to fix this.
We understand that water and sanitation are causally to diarrheal diseases, that in turn cause economic loss at the least and fatalities, at worst. Not just for one or two villages, but as many as possible. But we can't - the ownership of the system lays in the hands of the community itself. Our strategy is to work with the community to build capacity, and in turn address WASAN-related issues.
Unfortunately I was not able to join the team in Limpopo this summer, but I will be keeping up with the team's blog posts. And you should too!
