Project Background
Today many families in the neighborhoods of Saraguro do not have toilets in their homes, forcing people to do their biological needs outdoors. This is contaminating the land, water, food and the environment and causing the proliferation of many diseases such as cholera, typhoid, diarrhea, parasites, cysticercosis, and in general, all kinds of infectious diseases.
This is why Rotract Club of Loja presents the project of the contstruction of basic sanitation units for 12 famillies of the community of Gera. These latrines will guarantee a permanent access to sanitation services that are sustainable. This project will also be supported by the local government in Saraguro (GADMS)
