The project aims to build healthy toilets in Flores Island, East Nusa Tenggara (specifically Manggarai, West Manggarai and East Manggarai regency) which can lead to a declaration of Open Defecation Free (ODF) in the target area.
Give healthy toilets for children in Manggarai, NTT
Bad Sanitation Condition in Manggarai
-
Di NTT, khususnya Klaster Manggarai (Manggarai Timur, Tengah dan Barat) masih banyak anak yang belum memiliki akses kepada Toilet Sehat. Menurut data yang dihimpun WVI, hanya 30 persen rumah tangga di Klaster Manggarai yang memiliki Toilet Sehat sedangkan sisanya belum memiliki toilet yang layak. Kondisi ini menjadi salah satu penyebab tingginya angka stunting di Klaster Manggarai. Sanitasi yang buruk dan toilet yang tidak memadai dapat meningkatkan risiko stunting.
Health Toilets Lowers Stunted Growth Risk

The project begins with a community triggering process on the importance of hygienic behavior, followed by training so that the community can make their own toilets with basic standards. The toilets will also be equipped with a basic handwashing facility, so that children and the community can practice handwashing behavior.
With an emphasis on behavior change in and through the community, WVI will not only help build and maintain the hardware, but the project will begin with promoting behavior change within the community. The project is carried out with the cost-effectiveness of WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) programs in mind and provides strengthened data and evidence-based monitoring and design.
