One of the opportunities that was brought to our attention in the village town of Klokope was a need for increased sanitation in the form of a multi-seat composting latrine or sustainable outhouse (keep in mind there is no running water to these remote rural villages!).
The current situation for the entire community was a shared hole in the ground, with a small structure for shade.
There was a plan already in place with the Community Water and Sanitation Agency, a local contractor and material available, along with architectural drawings for what was called a “Kumasi Ventilated-Improved Pit” or KVIP for short.
Work began the day we received and delivered the funding for Phase One. The people of Klokope began clearing the land, and preparing the materials.
Soon after the ground was prepared, bricks made, and supplied gathered, construction began.
Finally the project was completed, and the people of Klokope have since then enjoyed the blessing of dignity and sanitation in this area. We are grateful to God, the generosity of so many, and the hard work of the local community to care and invest in the well-being of themselves and others.
