Chris Williams, Executive Director (ED) of
Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative
Council (WSSCC) and Mark Willis, Global
Sanitation Fund (GSF) Program Manager
(PM) visited Sindhupalchowk on May 15
2013 to observe the sanitation movement
and attend the open defecation free
(ODF) declaration programme of 4 and 5
wards of Dubachaur Village Development
Committee (VDC).
When GSF programme started its
intervention in Sindhupalchowk since
June 2012, not a single VDC were
declared ODF but after the intervention
of the GSF programme till now 9 VDCs
have been declared ODF and 1 VDC has
been declared ODF with support from
SUAAHARA Project
Mr. Williams appreciated the VDC WASH
Coordination
Committee
(V-WASH-
CC) members for organizing the ODF
declaration event and focused on
school children as not just students but
as sanitation teachers of their friends,
parents, and the community as a whole.
He emphasized further that the students
are the knowledge hub, thus the GSF
program must always focus on children
and child clubs as a central point in the
sanitation movements.
