“Rain & domestic drained water flow through our streets to fall in the main drainage of our
village. It was hard for our people to pass through the street; especially for the women and
elders, due to the slippery surface of the street. It was a hectic job to follow our routine work
outside our houses”, expressed by elderly Sher Zameen, president of the VO.

2. “It was hard for us to pass through streets because our clothes got stained and in the case of
children, the scenario was worse because they had to go to schools and with stained clothes, they
had to face shame in front of their fellow students and teachers”, added by Muhammad
Yousaf, a native.
“Before the sanitation scheme, we had a lot of dirt and small ponds of standing water in our
streets. That was the major cause of mosquitoes that played a tough role in the spread of diseases
in our village. After the sanitation scheme, dirt and standing water issues are resolved. Health
and hygiene situation is improved now. We are not only having a good drainage but we got a
paved street, too. It solved both our problems, sanitation and streets pavements. About 70
households are direct beneficiaries from the scheme”, explained by Arshad Ali, secretary of
the VO.
“Beside all the utilities of the sanitation scheme, we have now another plus point that our streets
look beautiful. My classmates came from University to visit me and when they found such
quality of paved streets, they were impressed and praised our area that such kind of beautiful
infrastructure is present in a remote area like this”, said by Naik Zameen, another native.
