Planning Document - Field Work

Santitation Pits Construction

All four groups of participants will construct one toilet unit each with the help of a local mason and CORD team members help in four different villages/locations for very needy and identified beneficiaries like single women, person with disability or very poor person in the community.

One complete toilet unit construction takes approximately three to four days. This activity mainly includes

• ground digging work of specific dimension

• mixing material i.e. sand, cement, preparing drums

• putting loose boulders around drums to act as soakage pits for toilet 

• helping mason with construction work

• See and understand how it happens in rural area in a participatory and cost effective manner. 

Construction of garbage and soakage pits (for kitchen waste water) will have similar activity and will take atleast 2 days.

Farm Sector - Plantation 

The teams will be divided into two groups instead of four. Each group goes to a different farm. They will be digging holes for planting, plant some citrus trees and other plants(15 - 20 a day) for two days. 

Farm Sector - System of Rice Plantation

Youth will work with local Farmer to take part in the planting of Rice Fields. The work can be messy as the fields are wet. Rain shoes/boots are recommended along with Gardening Gloves.

Rain ponchos are better for light rain but thick raincoats are needed for bigger rains.
