Modern public latrine Construction in Jinja camp; Lira Municipality. Source<br />
Divine Waters Uganda (DWU)<br />
Background<br />
Jinja Camp market in Lira Municipality had no pit latrine. For good measure, there<br />
was no land <strong>for</strong> continuous pit latrine construction. When DWU asked the market<br />
people where they relieve themselves when nature calls, they replied that they usually<br />
depend on the benevolence of the neighbors -usually at a fee or make sure they relieve<br />
themselves at home be<strong>for</strong>e they come to the market. According to data collected,<br />
most market vendors simply relieved themselves in a ‘kavera’ (plastic bags) each<br />
which they would simply toss onto the huge garbage dump just nearby.<br />
Divine Waters intervention<br />
DWU through Ojwina Division leaders mobilised people who are served by the Jinja<br />
camp market. Community sensitization was carried within the community working<br />
with local leaders. A project management committee was selected and with funding<br />
support from WaterAid, DWU was able to construct a modern waterborne public<br />
toilet facility. The Division leaders selected vulnerable persons that included disabled<br />
persons, widows and orphans and the very poor in four villages to further benefit from<br />
construction of 2500litre water jars to ease the burden of accessing safe water. It is<br />
anticipated that the project will improve the livelihood of the beneficiaries.<br />
