Situation
What we can do * Provide clean water and effective sanitation through new wells and latrines, * Provide rat-resistant food storage containers and water bottles, * Provide tools and seeds for villagers to grow their own food, and * Provide outreach workers to teach villagers how to combat this disease and help themselves. These measures will also help to combat gastro-enteritis (the biggest killer of children in Africa together with Acute Respiratory Infection), malaria and other water mediated diseases.
