total of 62 people.
CHDS Nepal is also running information sessions on handwashing and overall hygiene with the villagers.
The project also extended its activities to the Shree Kali Devi (SKD) school which is attended by
children from both villages. CHDS has conducted dental camps there and offered to establish a
school based toothbrushing program, as in Bhattedande. But the Principal of SKD school advised
there was no running water, and no functioning toilets, despite two previous (failed) toilet projects.
So Healthabitat, CHDS and the village construction team swung into action: after consultations
a re-design, extension and improvement of the existing infrastructure was agreed on, to include also 4
sinks and taps and a water storage tank. Now the students and staff have 5 safe and functioning
toilets, handwashing facilities, and yes, the dental program can begin!
