In April 2006 CAMP launched its first participatory water supply and sanitation project in Mohmand agency with the financial support of British High Commission, Islamabad under the Small Grants Scheme (SGS). Before the project was implemented, 95 % of the housing units would take water for drinking and domestic use from a nearby minor canal. Analysis of the canal water from Warsak Dam showed that is has a high proportion of silt, which is hazardous for human consumption. The majority of the community also did not have proper latrine facilities inside their houses. With lack of potable drinking water and proper sanitation facilities, the population of the area suffered ill health and epidemic break outs were common, especially among children and women. It has also resulted in environmental degradation, both at community level as well as at the household level. By the end of the Project, around 1,500 individuals, including women and children benefited from clean drinkable water, improved sanitation and better health and hygiene practices through information and education sessions.
