Project Description Country: Cambodia Location: Kos Khel Rural Area Total Budget: $1,000 Area of Focus: Water and sanitation Activity Type: Water: Sanitation Summary: Five latrines for poor rural families in Kos Khel, Cambodia Solana Beach ECO Rotary Sanitation Project The Solana Beach ECO Rotary Sanitation Project is designed to build five latrines for poor Cambodia rural families in the Kos Khel region, where decent toilet facilities are big issues. ECO Rotary will be coordinating the project through a partner NGO in Cambodia, Solidarity Fund For Rural Development (SFRD), which to date has constructed seventeen latrines (photos of their previously completed latrines are included in this application). The project will be funded with $500 from the ECO Rotary and $500 from a District 5340 matching grant. The latrines are a "double-pit" system with an attached ceramic squatting base surrounded by a simple enclosure. The latrines will be constructed over a period of two months with the help of the families receiving the latrine. Promoting good health in Cambodia is an important undertaking. Good sanitation is essential for health and well being, but it's not the norm in rural Cambodia, where old habits of poor hygiene, of using open fields in elimination of body waste, are still wide spread. The result is the contamination of streams and soils, the spread of disease, high rates of infant and young child mortality, and heavy caseloads of diarrhea and other infections. According to the World Bank's Sanitation program (2008) and by other studies, only about 17% of Cambodian rural poor have access to improved facilities, and among the very poor, fewer than 5% have access to a decent toilet facility. We're doing our small part to help alleviate this problem. In the photos we see the SFRD director in Cambodia (2014 and 2015) during construction, and as they celebrate the completion of the latrines for the families of Kol Nget, Phon Phal, and Keng Yim.
