ကရင္ျပည္နယ္၊ ပ်ဥ္ကတိုးကုန္းေက်းရြာမွာ ေနထိုင္တဲ့သူေတြဟာ ေရရရွိဖို႔အတြက္ ၄ကီလိုမီတာ လမ္းေလွ်ာက္ခဲ့ရတယ္ဆိုတာ သူတို႔အတြက္ အမွတ္ရစရာတခု အျဖစ္ရွိေနေတာ့မွာပါ … 

ေက်းရြာေနျပည္သူေတြဟာ ေရရရွိဖို႔အတြက္ အိမ္မွ ဒံုတမိျမစ္ကို နာရီေပါင္းမ်ားစြာ အခ်ိန္ကုန္ခံျပီး ၾကိဳးစားပမ္းစား သယ္ယူခဲ့ၾကရပါတယ္။ ရြာမွာ ေရအဆင္သင့္ မရႏိုင္တဲ့အတြက္ အျပင္မွာ မစင္စြန္႔တဲ့ အေလ့အထတခုက လူထုေတြအၾကား နိစၥဓူဝ အလုပ္တခု ျဖစ္လာခဲ့ပါတယ္။ ဒီအေျခအေနေတြက ထိခ္ိုက္လြယ္တဲ့ အမ်ိဳးသမီးေတြနဲ႔ ကေလးငယ္ေတြအတြက္ အႏၱရာယ္က်ေရာက္ႏိုင္ေျခမ်ားပါတယ္။ ေက်းရြာ အုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ေရးမွဴးမွလည္း “ေရမရွိလို႔ အိမ္သာမရွိ” တာမဆန္းပါဘူးလို႔ ေျပာပါတယ္။

Water on tap makes life flow better in Kayin village

By Khin Mar Win

For as long back as people can remember, the four-kilometer walk to the nearest water supply had a big effect on the life of residents of Pyin Kadoe Kone village in Myanmar’s Kayin State. 

As well as forcing villagers to undertake long hours of hard work carrying water home from the Don Ta Mi river, the lack of a ready water supply meant that open defecation was common around the village, making children and women more vulnerable, especially at night. ‘‘No water = no latrines,” said the village head.

Choose handwashing, choose health

October 15, 2014

 

The annual Global Handwashing Day (October 15) celebrations are occasions to emphasise the role of handwashing with soap in the prevention of common but potentially lethal diseases such as diarrhoea, and many countries around the world are holding activities to promote the practice.  Here we take a look at one initiative which is already proving successful in Myanmar:
