\nThe Catholic
\nDevelopment Commission in Malawi (CADECOM), a relief and developmental arm of
\nthe Episcopal Conference of Malawi (ECM) has handed over 120 household pit
\nlatrines; 50 school latrines, 15 new boreholes and rehabilitated 50 boreholes
\nto communities around in Nsanje district.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThis is in
\nline with a one year Cholera preparedness and response project which CADECOM
\nhas been implementing with financial support from Jersey Overseas Aid and
\nStates of Guernsey through Oxfam.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAmong
\nothers, the project which phases out was aimed at enhancing cholera risk
\nreduction and preparedness through support to improved access to portable
\nwater. Rt. Rev. Peter Musikuwa of Chikwawa Diocese officially handed over the
\nfacilities to communities at a colorful event held at Nyamithuthu Primary
\nSchool in Nsanje.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAccording to
\nBishop Musikuwa, Hygiene and Sanitation are among priorities in a number of
\nglobal strategies and goals aimed at improving livelihoods of poor communities.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cIn
\nanalyzing Malawi\u2019s current development status and future prospects, water
\nstands out as one of the key issues around which the discourse revolves. For a
\nresource as critical as water, it is only inevitable that it lies at the core
\nof efforts that seek to put Malawi on a sustainable development path,\u201d Bishop
\nMusikuwa said.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHe said in
\ntotal, the project has reached out to 6000 direct households in Mloro and
\nTengani with water, hygiene and sanitation interventions.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cWe, at
\nCADECOM, through the Episcopal Conference of Malawi (ECM) exist because of our
\ncommitment to holistic evangelization through teaching the Word of God and
\nfacilitating development work. We are driven by the call that people should
\nhave life and have it to the fullest (John 10:10). It is against this
\nbackground that we seriously reflected on supporting the affected communities
\naccess water and sanitation,\u201d said Bishop Musikuwa.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHis Lordship
\nthen challenged community members who will be using these facilities to ensure
\nthat the facilities are well taken care of hence School Committees, Water Point
\nCommittees, the Area Development Committees and Village Development Committee
\nand the community at large should be responsible to ensure that the facilities
\nare used sustainably.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nMeanwhile Oxfam
\nCountry Director, John Makina commended CADECOM for successfully implementing
\nthe project and at the same time hailed the communities for effectively
\ncontributing towards the projects. The representative of the District Commissioner
\nfor Nsanje district, Martin Chiwanda also commended CADECOM for ensuring that
\ncommunities in district are well taken care of in terms of water and
\nsanitation.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn total,
\nthe project reached out to 6000 direct households with a total amount of K110 Million
\nbeing spent.<\/div>\n
