WET is currently undertaking a project in Asulau in conjunction with the Bakhita Centre in Ermera District. The project will improve community hygiene conditions and accessibility of potable water through the construction of a water system with four new water tanks and refurbishment of two community toilets in the village. Currently 240 families do not have potable water or a functional toilet. The project will solve the village's water problems and also other related problems sanitation and hygiene.
Asulau has a total population of about 1,400 (214 households) with farming as the main occupation, and 220 children at primary school. It is regarded as the one of the most deprived villages in the region. The Bakhita Water Team is installing a water system that will provide running water from a perennial spring which will be diverted to a small weir that will then be piped about 2 km to the Asulau village. The projects includes supply and installation of 4 plastic 5000L tanks and smaller holding tanks location throughout the village. A separate pipeline will supply water to water points and handwashing stands at the school. |
