EFN WASH Project Update_as per 5.8.2014Titus Draleke
Misery by floods: Poor and blocked drainage channels greatly contribute to frequent floods in Namuwongo community located next to Nakivubo main channel. During flooding many children loose lives and others get their scholastics materials destroyed. Hope for Children upgraded drainage systems in Namuwongo as part of commitment to contribute to development of child friendly environment.
Mountains of garbage, whose responsibility? Huge piles of garbage accumulated in Namuwongo, especially along Port Bell railway line. As these garbage piles are not healthy for the population and children being the most vulnerable, Hope for Children with support from partners managed to clear hundreds of tonnes of these garbage.
Access to clean toilet is a right: In Namuwongo
Community Model to Improve Slum Health in Smart Cities,Wards,Localities:Pract...Siddharth Agarwal
Slum families live amidst dirt leading to contamination of water, spread of flies, rodents, mosquitoes, which carry diseases e.g. diarrhea, typhoid, jaundice, dengue, chikungunya, malaria. U¬5 undernutrition in the poorest urban quartile are 2.5 times higher than the richest urban quartile.
Practical approaches:
1.City map: Govt. of India’s NUHM & Housing Policy mandate mapping of all listed/unlisted/hidden slums on city map. UHRC's social facilitators, women's group members with govt. ANMs, Anganwadi workers identified, mapped hidden, unlisted and newly formed slums in Indore.
Slum Women’s groups use hand-drawn basti maps to a)prevent exclusion of family from lists for housing, entitlements; b)Track access to health services e.g. vaccination, ANC, c) identify recent migrants, vulnerable slums.
2.Basti women’s groups in Indore & Agra function as slum women’s health groups (Mahila Arogya Samitis or MAS) mandated in Govt. of India’s NUHM to strengthen demand for health, environmental services. With knowledge, confidence & skills, women’s groups increase access to Govt. address proof and Picture ID.
3. MAS members save monthly to build savings pool. This saving helps in time of health emergency, marriage, child's education, rescues poor people from moneylenders.
Based on Indore & Agra experience, India’s National Urban Health Mission (NUHM) mandates Mahila Arogya Samiti as a demand side strategy and creation a Revolving Community Fund as two of eight core NUHM strategies (Government of India, 2013).
4. With motivation youth-children groups bring more vigour to community efforts. Youth requests to authorities for streets, garbage cleaning. Basti children’s group members apply & avail govt. scholarship.
5. Outreach Health Services by Govt & Pvt Providers in deprived clusters are facilitated by basti women’s groups. They help ANMs identify vulnerable pockets, improve service access, infection prevention, promote healthy behaviours.
With mentoring support from UHRC, they promote nutrition & health with simple recipes e.g. sprouted cooked, garnished black gram. Women take up gardening for nutrition despite space constraints.
6. Women’s groups submit requests to different depts. for paving of basti lanes, water supply, sewage system, electric connections.
7. Ladies & children making jewellery & greeting cards gives creative & psycho-emotional energy despite living in dirt. Creative art stimulates right brain which enhances skills, intellectual responses, learning ability, confidence. These help slum populations gather more strength and hope to better deal with the vagaries of life.
8. Women’s Livelihoods: Tailoring & Stitching training centres for women are run. Women/girls stitch frocks, trousers, girls’ tops, shirts at home on per piece basis. Women also sell vegetables, grocery, run slum convenience store, tiffin service.
This proposal is from the Sammanthurai Youth Association to install 10 tube wells in the village of Sambamadu to provide drinking water. Sambamadu is located in a hilly, rocky area with hard soil, and currently the 140 residents must travel 3 miles to access water. Installing tube wells would provide a sustainable drinking water solution for the 200 families in Sambamadu and reduce health issues among the residents, especially the 78 infants and 140 students who currently suffer from lack of access to water. The project would benefit around 3000 people in the rural area. Community leaders were involved in identifying the need for this project.

A medical center, 12 residential units, cafe, and 62 parking spaces are being proposed for a 5,497 square meter lot in Ewingsdale. The proposal has raised some concerns from local council staff regarding traffic, scale and height, and impact on prime agricultural land. The latest development application claims to address the earlier concerns, but council staff previously noted traffic studies showing the nearby roundabout would require upgrades before further development. Public comment period on the proposal has closed.
