Our company Volun Tour Laos is looking to begin Phase 2 of the Na San village development program. See our full company bio at www.voluntourlaos.com or follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/VolunTourLaos/
We completed Phase 1 of the program last year by bringing greater access to running water to the village community with a new Gravity Flow Water System. Now the water system is functioning at 100% capacity we would like to continue the support of Na San village with this second needed community infrastructure development program of a Home Sanitation System for each individual home.
Na San Village bio, project impact and project justification:
*village bio updated 30/10/2019
Village Demographic: A Hmong ethnic community comprised of 229 persons spread across 34 household, Na San village is located 35 kilometers south of Luangprabang city. Villagers are mainly subsidence farmers with some migrant workers going to nearby villages and towns for work. Main access to the village is via the Mekong River.

250 pc Concrete Blocks at $.50/pc = $58
6 bags of Cement = $30
6 pc Tin Roofing sheets = $3/pc = $18

Current home sanitation capacity- The current sanitation system set up in Na San village is of dire need. Of the 34 homes there only 5 homes that has a toilet block being used and these are not even standard built units thus needless to say village communities such as Na San village are at a high risk with regards to personal hygienic deceases. From the dirt, to the water to the very living environment of the village are prone to an unhealthy and unsanitary conditions.
Project Outcome-
With the installation of the home sanitation system each family will benefit from having and leading a healthier living condition at home. The community itself will begin the process of having a cleaner village environment from various forms of serious health concerns.
Length of Impact-
The impact and benefit to the community will be immediate.
