Ws Notes
David and Steven went to bulyowa village assessing the sanitation improvement in all the homes they walked with all the new members of the water and sanitation committee ,while encouraging every resident of bulyowa to work and improve on their sanitation facilities so that they can be able meet the required standards set by clts.They moved in about sixty homes but only two homes didnt have latrines instead they were using their neighbors,which is not recommendable by Kibo .For that reason those two homes were given one week to have a good pit latrine in place,the committee members told David that they will be visiting and monitoring the sanitation improvement in those two homes without fail because they were in fear of the diseases which could be transferred like diarrhea from those two homes to the homes of other community members. They were having 70000 as their borehole balance. Generally the community of bulyowa is improving because of the new sanitation facilities like rubbish pits,drying rack,birth-rooms,latrines and houses and kitchens being smeared.r
