The aim of the project is to ensure women in the market place practice clean hygiene as they work and also to ensure the marketplace has better waste management, clean water live and work in a sanitary environment. This will need engaging of stakeholders and the council to not neglect the marketplace and ensure even the marketeers have proper systems of waste collection and disposal as well as easy access to clean water.
