A survey conducted in March 2021 in Gapé Kpodzi among a population of 1,050 to assess their needs revealed that 80% of the population wanted latrines. The majority of the population defecated in the bush. This was followed by discussions about the risks of diarrhea, snake bites, and other related illnesses. Awareness campaigns on the importance of latrines, latrine maintenance, and handwashing (through film screenings and talks) were conducted continuously for children and adults throughout the project. The beneficiaries themselves financed 80% of the latrine construction. In July 2022, we launched a community outreach program that brought together nearly 300 people. Following this initial phase, approximately 120 households expressed interest in building latrines, with 80 wanting to begin immediately. We started with an initial phase of 40 constructions.
