Mprim’s Big Day

Mprim is one of the largest villages in our area. It’s already got clean water but has waited for years for a donor to sponsor it for sanitation.
The news is that Softwire, a wonderful computer company, has offered to pay for the materials needed for the community to build itself one latrine for each household.
The photos were taken at a recent meeting in Mprim. The villagers were told that a bargain was on offer: Softwire, working through Ashanti Development, would provide the materials for the laqtrines, but they must do all the unskilled labour themsleves. Of course they accepted.
This is one of the big days in their lives.
