Key Issues/Findings:
In rackchowk WSS site previously selected for RvT construction was moved since there
was fault plane in that location.
Source of Gada khola contains metal impurities.
Communitity is busy in Cash for work so it is difficult to carryout Water supply construction.
There was lack of skilled manpower for construction oF RVT.
School have problem for providing space for latrine construction.

Conclusions
Hence construction is rapidly ongoing in water supply schemes but in school it is opposite.

Recommendations
Each water supply scheme should be facilitated by skilled manpower.
We should work in an integrated way within OXFAM.
