The work envisaged by the project has been completed in the IDP settlement of Khoni.
Two problems were solved: due to a faulty drainage system, rainwater accumulated near houses #10 and #15. Residents cut canals that changed the direction of the water. During heavy rains, water got into the basement and flooded, which created a threat to people's health. There were many reptiles and rodents. There was a risk of damage to the basement of the building.
Two initiatives were implemented with the human resources of the local community: the ground was excavated and filled near house #10. A raised fence was installed on the side of the pedestrian path near house #15. Thus, two problems were solved.
