Today is World Toilet Day. PP started the village sanitation program in 2007, leading teams to build toilet systems in 3 poor villages in Nepal over 8 years. He was exploring moves to other villages by building first a school toilet block, a process that would test the strength of future village toilet construction partnerships. Sadly he was taken from us too soon and these next village based steps ceased. The PPF, through small early steps, is rebuilding and strengthening partnerships new and old, to continue PP’s efforts to improve sanitation and living conditions in Nepal.

Bishnu and the Dhulikhel Hospital team assessing the scope of works for the PPF 2020 team at the hospital’s outreach centre in Dhading district.
Public and patient toilet/shower facilities are in need of upgrading, water supply needs to be reinstated at the community toilet block.
Plenty of opportunities for a plumber/architect team to work with keen Nepali teams. Applications for the PPF 2020 Team close on 15 November. Namaste!
