The project is part of UN-Habitat Regional Office for Africa’s COVID-19 Response and Resilient Recovery strategy, in partnership with Tulsi Chanrai Foundation and the Karu council. The Chairman of Karu council, Samuel Akala Gajere, urged communities to take ownership of the project and ensure that the facilities are well taken care of. He commended the implementing partners for the quality of the work and pledged closer collaboration with UN-Habitat. WASHCOMS were established in each participating community and members were trained in the basic management to ensure equitable usage. The project also included teaching on hygiene practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other communicable dieases at three community schools.
