“Many families, who were forced to abandon their homes, have found shelter in buildings under construction,” continues Tagliani. “Those unfinished buildings are now housing hundreds of thousands of people.”
Since these apartments have no bathrooms or kitchens, AVSI’s engineers are already working on installing pipes and the necessary infrastructure to guarantee essential services to the current residents. In a situation that is so unstable, it also becomes essential to provide training on good cleaning and sanitation practices. “Families in Sahnaya have many needs,” says Tagliani. “But one of the priorities is certainly the access to toilets, kitchens, and potable water.” |
