WASH

1. Water Container Capacity

Clean drinking water is the basic right of every human; Water is the source of survival. No water No life, a man can live without food for several days but not without water. HDO team noted during assessment that 78 families has cooler out of 144 and its ratio stands at 54%. It is also reported that those who has cooler with the capacity of 5 To 10 liter were in unhygienic condition. The respondent mentioned that water is not sufficient for their entire activities. There were DPs families who has bucket and their strength is 13 out of 144. Similarly, some DPs were having only LOTA, which are out of the facts and they are miserably passed the time with nominal water container. It is also been witness the DPs faced lot of problems for collection water for drinking and cooking and their hygiene condition was very poor. Some families mentioned that they are having only drum with open neck, the interviewer mentioned that they observe some of them and they were totally unhygienic and the drum was uncovered. Some families have the pitcher and their number was 22 out of 144 but the same position regarding to water container were also alarming. They were unhygienic and poor.

During interview it was reported that there are 86 families out of 144 who has no soap. It was also reported that they have no knowledge about washing hands with soap and they have no alternative for washing hands after attending the latrines. This type of situation doubles our worries.

They need full concentration to maximize the threat to the health before it becomes a health hazard.
