Building latrines
ADO has built 5,600 latrines for the displaced in the hosting sites so far. These latrines were built to protect the dignity of the IDPs. ADO has also rehabilitated the sanitation service in those areas to avoid any environmental disasters including a new outbreak of cholera.
Rehabilitating wells
Rehabilitating wells is one of the most important measures that have been taken to mitigate and eliminate the spread of cholera as it increases people’s access to clean water in sufficient quantity, especially for those in the most affected areas
Hygiene
ADO main focus, in the areas of its interventions, is on largely promoting hygiene sensitizing activities by instilling the principle of hygiene in the minds of the beneficiaries while distributing hygiene kits. Therefore, ADO dual role is being achieved; beneficiaries are provided with the hygiene kits, and become aware of how the water is purified in practice so that they would apply the same at home
