Concrete Floors Project
29 Sep 2012by WAVES AlumniThis past Monday 24th of September, the WAVES staff took another step in the Environmental Health program by formally launching Households Projects in Lobitos. We selected families out of our surveys that are more need of this benefit. Attached to this project is the new initiative of the micro-credit loans. The families will be owners and promoter of the projects. Together with the WAVES Volunteers they will finance their project and work together in the houses.
We are stating with Concrete Floors and Roofing with vision to develop other projects as the program expands. These include:
- Water Systems
- Solar Panel
- Home Gardens
This will be a new addition to the volunteer experience at the same time creating a tighter relationship with the people of Lobitos. The desired project outcome is to create a health supportive environment by reducing the amount of parasites that live in dirt floors in the community, and prevent the children from developing diseases related to these parasites. Furthermore, to promote the good health and care in the families and reinforcing the bond of WAVES with the community of Lobitos.
