Catherine is a local leader along the Mosque Road area.
Before the project, Catherine had experienced a lot of issues with overflowing sewage running into her compound and would often be forced to wade through raw sewage in the corridors to get to her house. Catherine was constantly worried about contracting cholera or typhoid due to the situation.
Since connecting to the simplified sewer, Catherine says she is really enjoying a clean compound and a fresh toilet without any smell. She can now confidently walk around without worrying about stepping on excreta.
As a leader in the area, Catherine says the connection process has been made so easy which has enabled many landlords who did not previously have toilets in their plots to construct toilets and connect to the new system.
