Success Story
WHERE THERE IS WILL, THERE IS A WAY
Imam Bux Brohi is a village of union council Qadirpur
located at a distance of 7 kilometers from entrance of
union council; the village has population of 326. Most
of the villagers are habituated to open defecation, they
were ignorant if the health hazards involved in this
practice. However, a few villagers were concerned
about the unhygienic condition that prevailed in the
village. Ali Dost was of them.
He old man was poor, who received old age pension,
had the desire to lead a clean and health life. He is not
able to walk at huge distance, although he wanted to
have sanitary toilets in his household, he did not get
support from his own son and daughter-in-law. The
villagers were not interested in having household
toilets because they believed that installation of a
latrine can cost upto Rs. 5000/. Though Ali Dost was
convinced that an individual household latrine ensures
comfort, privacy & hygiene, he was helpless in the
absence of support from any other source.
Fast Rural Development Program – FRDP took the re-initiative in promoting Total Sanitation
campaign in the village. It was through them that the villagers came to know that a low cost
sanitary toilet can be installed in a household at a cost of Rs 2000/- only. When Ali Dost came
to know about it, He became happy and wanted to install one such toilet in his house. There
was resistance from his son and daughter-in-law but the old man spent his savings to fulfill his
dream of a personal sanitary toilet in his home.
The old man with a walking stick in hand, with members from moved from door to door to
motivate the villagers to use toilets in the village. His effort and the Endeavour of the NGO paid
rich dividends. Today Imam-din Brohi village is free from open defecation and that gives
immense please and satisfaction.
Mr. Ali Dost asking to register my name that he would construct suggested latrine within days.
A Case Study of Communal Latrine
Village Nazar Muhammad Khoso is situated at 31.5 KM from Jacobabad city, major profession
of the village is farming on the land of others however some people do works on shops in
Jacobabad city. Total population of the village is 66 households having 563 populations. FRDP
with the supported of UNICEF Pakistan carried out Social
Mobilization Campaign to Sustain the Results of SPSP
Phase-I Interventions of union council Qadirpur, team
met with community members during mass meeting and
identified Male are not using latrines and having it
outside the village in field.
Mr. Muhram, 66 years old man, while was asked to share
his feelings the cause of having it outside the village, he
said that being a Baloch community it is not a
appropriate using communal latrine in home. He further
said that women use latrine while male not and said that
he feels sick most of the time and he managed very
hardly to go out from his dwelling for defecation.
Team showed sensitization feelings and dedicated a
journey of having in communal latrine with most
significant arguments he came to know that using the
communal latrine is a best way to avoid burning
deseases, and was realized to delete such worst concept
to not have in communal latrine is of many decades
before of people.
Since the mobilization melt his heart and mind to meet with advantage of this communal
latrine, and erase the waste thinking from his minds is using the communal latrine on daily
basis, and he requested to the community members of village that defecating in latrine is best
way to be healthy and fit, the trend is changed most of community male are using communal
latrines and washing hands with soap/ash as per suggested times of FRDP and UNICEF Pakistan.
After the few weeks when tem met with Mr. Muhram he was thanking of FRDP and UNICEF
Pakistan for such sensitization, he said that he has left to take medicines and is not going to
doctor anymore, he is healthier and worth, and was found that all community members are
having communal latrines that has dedicated them a happy life.

with staff to share strength and weakness points in activities that were improved as per
observations in each meeting.

rotate the hygiene and sanitation massages at household and village level, such inspired
aspects arisen by children from school to village are easy to recognize the future impact related
to sanitation and hygiene with the support of teachers feedback. CRPs are key change agents

women throughout the project to care the children and old-age women in order to maintain
hygiene and sanitation condition, women from target villages have been approached with all
activities so that could be working as change agent at women level.
