Death from open Defecation: How community led approach saved the day for Fulani community
THE Fulani Community of Yammawar Kafawa in Dambatta Local Government Area of Kano State has, over the years, been plagued by myriads of water-borne diseases like diarrhoea and cholera. It is a situation that has brought so much agony and pains to families affected and the community in general. The community, with a population of 1,649 people who are predominantly peasant farmers and cattle rearers, has in recent past been massively hit by fatalities through cholera and diarrhoea.
