Inadequate access to safe water supply combined with poor environmental sanitation and personal hygiene practices is among the leading causes of diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery, worm infestation, skin diseases.

This proved to have been very effective in empowering the communities including women and seem to result in strong community ownership.
