WaterAid, backed by a pledge from the Institution of Water and Environmental Management to raise £5000, has agreed to support its local partner, Nepal Water for Health which, in turn, will assist the Andha Andhi Community Development Centre in this integrated water, sanitation and health education project. The budget is £10 570 (co‐funded by UNICEF†), to be spent during 1995−96, and the project is to serve 558 people living in Andha Andhi. The scheme comprises: the construction of a gravity water supply system; the installation of pit latrines; training of the scheme caretaker, health volunteers, a health motivator, sanitation worker and coordinator. Benefits are expected to arise from (a) the provision of safe drinking water, (b) education in improved hygiene practices, and (c) the easing of the burden of water collection on women and girls.
