HOW DID YOU GO ABOUT IDENTIFYING THIS PROBLEM?
Water and Sanitation

1. Ablution facilities and people use only their self-constructed pit
toilets – means that two house have to use together.
2. There is no water supply to households as in the rest of
Swakopmund have water supply. We have the water Master
systems where people have to buy water.
3. House: Build with Boxes, wood and plastics bags
4. There is no electricity for household use. People are using fire
guest stove and fire wood to kook they food and using candle for
lights.

6. Clinic : AIDS/ HIV and TB common to my people
