These field demonstrations and practice sessions on constructing double pit latrines in Kratie Province, Cambodia are part of our partner Thrive Networks's rural sanitation program and an important step in helping vulnerable households access safe sanitation and proper hygiene practices.

 

This work is part of Thrive's COVID-19 response, supported by Australia through Water for Women, to ensure that disadvantaged rural communities are not left behind when it comes to protecting the health of Cambodians and the stability of the region in these challenging times - a WASH response is a COVID-19 response.

 

These training sessions are a collaboration with the Cambodian Department of Rural Health Care, at one event, they were joined by the Secretary of the Ministry of Rural Development, the Director of Department of Rural Health Care, and the Director of Kratie Provincial Department of Rural Development, a signal of the governments support and commitment to sanitation and hygiene for all!

Through Partnerships for Recovery, Australia is supporting COVID-19 work across in South East Asia to secure our region’s health, wellbeing and stability in these challenging times. Through Water for Women, not only are we delivering safe, equitable and sustainable Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), we are also building, healthy, inclusive and resilient societies.
