• Include all stake holders at all stages of project implementation.
• Mobilise all stakeholders to contribute all the locally available resources towards the project
• Establish and train sanitation committees at the village, schools and health unit levels
• Establish and introduce a cost sharing fund for the maintenance of all the constructed facilities.
There will be a stakeholders committee (the management committee) and an executive committee (the working committee) being formed from the stakeholders committee. The executive committee will take over operation and maintenance.
The local community will be involved in the construction of the pit latrine stands and RWH tanks. Two people from each village will be trained in repairing and servicing the pit latrine blocks and RWH tanks.
Trained community health workers will support the local community in the management and maintenance of the facilities.
Because women and girls will not have to search for water anymore and will not be sick anymore due to better hygiene and cleaner water:
- the girls will be able to go to school and increase their chances on an improved economic situation in their future, and
- the women will be able to spend time on the production of income generating sources. These financial resources will result in a fund for buying spare parts and for maintenance.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I am very glad to submit to you two photos of constructed RAIN WATER HARVESTING TANKS.The two tanks have been constructed with funds raised through WANDELEEN VOR WATER,AQUA FOR ALL THE MMANZE COMMUNITY AND THE MACERUDET ORGANISATION.These were funds raised by the school children in 2008.We have therefore managed to construct the facilities at mmanze sss and mmanze ps.The underground tank was constructed at mmanze sss and above ground tank was constructed at mmanze ps.The reason why we constructed an underground tank at mmanze sss is that the school is located at a steep slope where the soils are not very fiirm whereas mmanze ps is located at a flat area where the soil is more firm.Secondly mmanze sss contributed more materials towards the project ,that enabled us to construct a bigger underground tank to meet their school needs since they have a boarding section of students.
iIn that respect,I would like to appeal to all the wellwishers of our community to donate generously towards our proposed activities so that we construct two other tanks and tlatrines at two health centres namely BUSAAWA MMANZE HEALTH CENTRE THREE AND KAMBUGU HEALTH CENTRE TWO.
