The successes so far recorded are traceable to the following measures;

a) Use of media Campaigns as a major social engineering instrument to engender change in the areas we work, encouraging participation and setting a platform for the regulation of peoples’ behavior within the cultural milieu.

b) Using schools’ Outreach Program to increase awareness about water issues and sanitation systems by engaging students on water and sanitation issues.

c) The use of vacuum trucks, that sucks up sludge and deposits it for treatment.

d) The project significantly enhances the treatment of sludge through co-composting, an end product that yields cheaper source of organic soil conditioner for local farmers.
