GSB is trying the best to always use an integrated approach, that includes WASH, food security and renewable energies, to assist communities to meet their main challenges.
\nWe strongly believe that with better water and sanitation conditions, people won’t get sick regularly (mainly with diarrhoea and cholera) \u00a0and their nutrients that are in general scarce will be kept in their bodies and the children will not suffer from malnutrition. And women\u2019s workload with fetching water and wood, as well as taking care of the ill won’t be so heavy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The solutions in water supply and sanitation demonstrated here are at the highest level of the \u201dwater ladder\u201d namely a piped water system. This comes however at great costs, for which funds are not available to expand on a large scale.<\/p>\n
The table top Household filters are above the lowest level of the waterladder, and provide safe water at modest costs. And although it will not relieve women\u2019s workload, it prevents waterborn illnesses.<\/p>\n
The following interventions were made:<\/p>\n
Construction of a primary school in 19 de Outubro Village, with a piped water and improved toilet for children. this intervention has also included WASH education to increase people\u2019s, (mainly children\u2019s) awareness, regarding WASH, and also keeping good hygiene conditions for girls attending schools. This intervention was supported by the Italian Embassy in Mozambique<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Construction of a Small Piped Water System Supply (borehole drilling), to benefit 45 households, with piped water services to their houses, and improved toilets. The intervention has also included WASH education. The partner here is WATER1ST International from the USA.<\/p>\n Production of firewood saving stoves, to assist communities with affordable energy, mainly women that see their workload reduced.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.smartcentremozambique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/New-water-source-in-the-primary-school-of-19-de-Outubro.jpg\")
