On October 4th, “World Habitat Day” we started a new Sanitation Campaign to help families in need. This time we joined efforts to support more than 30 families that are living in a settlement in Luque city, called “María Auxiliadora”.
 
Our aim is to help the community so they can have access to water, sanitation, and hygiene. We want to make bathrooms infrastructure better, build a common water tank and support them to improve garbage management. 
 
“María Auxiliadora” is one of the settlements surveyed in a study that we recently presented. They are in the process of regularization and payment of their own lands with the Ministry of Social Development. 
A diagnosis confirmed that houses are precarious, with overcrowded conditions and bathrooms having deficient infrastructures. Almost all families of this community have women as heads of household, and a young population with informal jobs and low incomes.
 
From Habitat for Humanity Paraguay, we're looking for corporate donations and people who want to support our campaign. If you'd like to join us you can contact 0982 386663 or visit the website www.habitat.org.py for more information.
