Leadership in solving a community issue of Building Toilets - Poinsur

Roshani Grah CCO, Poinsur and Prayas Foundation has jointly started a Capacity building program for the Domestic workers to make them aware of their rights and empower themselves.

CSA staff Mishal Dabre conducted a Community mapping and leadership sessions with them. 

As part of the follow up of the capacity building one of the participants Ms.Selvi had taken an initiative to solve the Toilet issue in her community. 

She mobilized the community members and collected the entire information of toilet project. She clicked pictures of the existing toilets. Toilets were there but the condition was very bad just like a Dumping ground, hence people were badly affected. 

Nobody was ready to make a complaint against the Corporator and the BMC. She herself wrote an application and collected the signatures and formed a CBO. 

With the help of CCO staff Ms.Sushilla Pallicha, together they met the Corporator as well as concerned BMC officers. 

After the follow up and meetings, finally, the BMC started the renovation of the Toilets and now they built eight Toilets in that Community’s. 

Ms. Selvi had taken the right step of leadership to solve this issue in the community.
