The village of Al- Mushraa Become Clean

 

Al- Mushraa village is located in Lawder District in Abyan Governorate, This village suffers from a lack of a Sanitation network and no specific site for throwing garbage. Children in the village make up half of the population; they play and have fun near their homes, where also this garbage is located.                                                                         

Abu Abdullah declared they collect rubbish near the houses and then burn it. This causes a big problem such as pollution due to poisonous gases resulting from the burning, as the garbage brings mosquitoes and is the cause of many diarrheal diseases and Malaria and Dengue Fever.

He said that the organization has proposed that a piece of land be allocated outside the village to be a garbage collector where it is disposed of and burned. All the garbage was lost and the village was perfect.

The wonderful effect is that the villagers became aware of the importance of cleanliness, and it became a regular behavior and everyone was throwing garbage in the designated area to throw garbage,The Total number of beneficiaries of this project is 2675 Including 702 women and 573 girls. and the village's cleanliness also reflected the health of the population there, as the incidence of diseases caused by piles of garbage decreased.
