Executive Summary

This project completion report covers all the activities under taken under the UNICEF funded WASH emergency flood Response in 2010. The project was implemented in villages in 8 severely affected Union Councils of District Thatta and for IDP Camps in Badin (Sindh).

The overall purpose of the project was the urgent provision or restoration of critical WASH services to flood affected populations living in schools (i.e. Government announced camps) as well as spontaneous camps and returning populations in Districts Badin and Thatta. The WASH interventions focused on reducing the incidence of water and sanitation related diseases through the provision of safe drinking water, adequate sanitation coverage and hygiene promotion activities for 16,000 flood affected households requiring immediate humanitarian assistance.

The project entails hardware and software components including the provision of drinking water through water tankers, the installation of hand pumps, and the construction of bathing facilities.

The following key activities were undertaken the Project:

Provision of safe drinking water to 4,800 households Installation of hands pump providing clean water to 10,605 households Provision of adequate sanitation facilities by constructing 4,702 latrines, benefitting 87,213 people Hygiene sessions delivered to 112,884 people Distribution of 16,000 hygiene kits, 16,000 jerry cans and 5,000 buckets.

Background

The devastating flood in Pakistan had destroyed more than half of the economy of the country1. The country which was already facing several other crises including terrorism, poverty, corruption, illiteracy has now hit by another challenge in the form of flood.

The summer of 2010 produced Pakistan’s worst flooding in 80 years. Nearly 20 million people and one eighth of the population have been significantly affected, including roads, bridges, schools, health clinics, electricity and communications. The devastation affected about one-fifth of the country, with nearly 62,000 square miles and 17 million acres of farmland destroyed2. There inevitably will be economic fallout from the evolving situation. In a country where a quarter of the economy is dependent on agriculture for food and jobs, it is obvious that economic growth will also be effected.

Effects in Thatta

Thatta District has been heavily affected by the flooding, as the Indus River courses through the middle of the District to empty into the Arabian Sea. High tides in the Arabian Sea around the end of August slowed the emptying of the flooded Indus as the sea levels were higher than the river level. Multiple breaches in the embankments heavily contributed to the flooding in Sindh province, including one directly resulting in the flooding of Sujawal town. The flooding of the Indus has affected both the right and left banks, thus affecting the majority of the population of the District, directly affecting 30 of the 55 UCs. The flood had destroyed the basic needs of the rural and urban populations, with damage to basic shelters, livestock, agriculture, water and sanitation and Health Facilities.

NRSP’s Response

NRSP has worked in Thatta for more than a decade. During the emergency situation, overnight the NRSP Disaster Management Cell responded urgently. The NRSP Regional Office established Emergency Response Units in the flood affected Districts and Tehsils. WASH emergency response activities under taken as part of the response.

The proposed project was designed to provide immediate life saving WASH services to 16,000 flood affected households in villages and in camps in Thatta and Badin Districts of Sindh Province. The activities were in line with the WASH cluster strategy for provision of WASH services to the flood affected population in Sindh. The project entailed hardware and ‘software’ (i.e. social) components including the provision of drinking water through water tankers, installation of hand pumps ,construction of bathing and washing places, construction of pit latrines, cleaning of camps and holding awareness sessions on safe hygiene practices (key messages in emergency and demonstration of using water purifiers). The project targeted affected IDPs settled in Camps in Badin and Thatta and the returning population in District Thatta.

Hygiene Education The term 'Hygiene' suggests a set of practices associated with preservation of cleanliness and living a healthy life. Hygiene correlates with personal and professional care practices followed in every aspect of healthy living. Hygiene could be of many types such as medicinal hygiene, body hygiene, dental hygiene, domestic hygiene, occupational hygiene and sanitary hygiene1. Although hygiene at every level is necessary for healthy living, sanitary hygiene is something that is promoting health by avoiding human contact with the hazards of waste. Hygiene education is about helping people to understand, first, what causes some of their health problems and second, what preventative measures might be possible. It needs to be approached in a very sensitive way, with a great deal of respect being shown to local beliefs and practices2. In the situation of emergency people were highly affected by the hygiene problems: in particular, women and children were subject to diseases like diarrhea, fever and skin diseases. In this situation NRSP had given hygiene education to children and women through hygiene sessions. Below are some simple tips given to the women and children during the sessions.

Try to bathe at least twice a day using an antibacterial soap. This helps fight germs and body odor. Launder your clothes at frequent intervals Clean clothes at home using some odor fighting detergent. Avoid consuming spicy or smelly food. 1. www.articlesbase.com Eric Holm 2. www.wateraid.org

Case Study of Village Hussain Baran

The Village Hussain Baran is situated in U/C Keenjhar, about 12 Km from Sujawal, on the northern side of the Badin road. The village has 200 households and about 1,500 people. It was affected in the flood of 2010 and 2011. NRSP has visited this village and then started all activities. The people of this village shared their views in this way. They told us that during flood they had migrated to different areas, such as Badin, Makli, and Talhar. When we came back to our homes we saw that the houses were damaged or washed away. After 3 days the NRSP team reached our village and made us sure that they were with us in that terrible moment. They had started their activities in the shape of UNICEF WASH Project. On the behalf of this project we got benefits.

When the NRSP team asked the villagers about during and after the disaster, they said that:

There was no proper way to control the sanitation problems. People of Hussain Baran didn’t know about the proper and good usage of soap before eating a meal

and after using the latrine. We were also seriously affected by many diseases like Diarrhea, Fever and Skin diseases.

After that discussion the people of Hussain Baran told us that before the NRSP team came we were totally unaware about all these diseases and how to clean and wash our surroundings, and the disadvantages of not following these basic tools in our daily life. They also said that they did not know about Germs.

Conditions after the Flood: After the flood the social, economical and the personal conditions were severely damaged. Their crops - wheat, sugar cane and cotton - were completely destroyed. Their entire infrastructure - houses and furniture – had been totally destroyed. The people of Hussain Baran told us that in spite of this multiple damage we are optimistic because NRSP has worked in our village at our satisfactory level and provide us many facilities. They told us that after the installation of hand pumps from NRSP UNICEF we are getting pure and clean drinking water.

Conclusion

They told us that now we are fully aware of hygiene and health tools. Now we are living and leading healthy and prosperous life. We are very careful about open defecation.

At the end of our discussion all of them were agreed that they would carry on the health and hygiene activities and would integrate these into their daily lives. They told us that in our village there are 80 Latrines from NRSP, and after the installation of hand pumps we are getting pure and clean drinking water.
