A clean-up Campaign was organized by Pathivara Nawa
yuwa Club with support of Paschim Paaila at Pathivara tole on 11th May 15, 2013 Saturday. There was huge
participation of local youths, children, community people and team of Paschim Paaila
in the program. The program was conducted in Pathivara community to raise
awareness regarding proper Sanitation and Hygiene in the community.
The reason behind
selecting Pathivara as our campaign site was based on present scenario of Pathivara.
In that community present sanitation status was observed, it was not
satisfactory. Community was facing
water related diseases in recent days. Overall objective of this campaign was
to improve the existing situation and also to promote bio-sand filter in the community
for safe drinking water supply.
As a part of
campaign there was a meeting prior the event with Pathivara Nawa Yuwa Club. The
program started from 7:30 am, all the youths were ready with brooms and sack to
collect the waste in their community. There was also good participation from
nursing students of Om Institute of Health Science. The team visited door to
door as well to collect the waste and aware the community people about the
importance of proper maintained sanitation and hygiene in their surroundings.
The program was
conducted for about 3 hour which was very much effective. After the conduction
