The projects builds, with participation of the villagers one community water system, repairs broken hand water pumps, subsidizes 135 ceramic water filters for clean drinking water and the construction of 45 pit latrines. Basaids funds construction equipment, transport costs, fuel and food for the team. Key to the project is, that all villagers benefit from the improvements.
