Building your own latrine: Community-led total sanitation in southern Shan State

Written by Theingi Win*

March, 2019 - Sai Awan, 47, has done something he didn’t plan to do. He has built his family a latrine.

In Pak Kan village in Hsi Seing Township of Myanmar’s Southern Shan State, the father of two is convinced his efforts will improve the health of his family and his village.

 “When I learned that diarrhoea is related to open defecation, I realized the importance of latrines and became passionate about building them. Even though I don’t have much money, I’m doing it now, not later, “ said the father of two.

Married for eleven years, Sai Awan and his family live in a bamboo house and until recently all the family members shared a latrine at a relative’s house or practiced open defecation behind the bushes in the nearby fields.

From Floods to Volunteerism

By Mariana Palavra

June 2016, Hakha, Chin State - Van Tin Pen was very scared. She saw six or seven houses collapsing, landslides all over and she was running out of food. This was in July 2015, when cyclone Komen hit Myanmar, causing some of the worst floods in the last 40 years, particularly in Chin State.  “We were blocked for more than two weeks”, recalls the 34 year old who lives in a small village from Hakha township. “Not only did we not have food, but also all the pipelines were washed away, thus cutting off our access to safe water.”

Choose handwashing, choose health

October 15, 2014
