Sheiku Dumbuya of Charlie 1 has added a little more to his previous report on the poverty cycle as we move into the education and health camps section of the work. You can find his original report here
A
significant point this case study of Uyyamballi highlights is that the idea of
an unbreakable poverty is a fallacy and that change is possible. The
elements of the poverty cycle are malleable and so need to be part of an agenda
for change. Working in a village such as Uyyamballi, it is clear to
observe the potential effects of the building of sanitation units and, with
further training and intervention, a solution that is sustainable. In
particular, provision of information about the impact of sanitation and when
open defecation can cause health and social problems will be crucial during
health camps to address this target.
