Mrs. YebotaSew Asifaw, aged 39 & has 6 children, is a resident of Gond T/Hayimanot kebele, West Belesa woreda. Previously, her family was a victim of diseases related to hygiene & sanitation problems. Now the problem is alleviated after she got a skill gap training from the project. Her family has been using the toilet and keeps well their hygiene.

“After we got training, we built a toilet. All my family uses it and washes their hands after toilet time. Previously, we used to excrete at night only due to lack of a toilet. Now we are living in a village free from open defecations”, she said.
