Improved Sanitation Brings Safety and Dignity to Sajita Chepang’s Family in Majbang

Meet Sajita Chepang from Majbang village, whose family’s life has significantly improved through the Comprehensive Community Development Programme under the WASH sector. Earlier, the family had no access to a safe toilet and was forced to practice open defecation, exposing them to health risks, unsafe conditions, and particular difficulties for women and children.

With support from Sapana Village Social Impact (SVSI), the family received essential construction materials such as cement, zinc sheets, a pan seat, and pipes, along with technical guidance for proper toilet construction. The family also contributed their own labor and locally available resources, ensuring strong community ownership of the project.

Today, they have a safe and durable household toilet, which has greatly improved hygiene, reduced health risks, and restored dignity and safety. Sajita shares her happiness, noting how the new facility has made daily life safer and more comfortable, especially for her children.
