Sanitation = Safety

Climbing up and down 40 steps ten times a day is not an easy exercise, but for 28-year-old Dil Maya, it has been a daily routine since she moved into a hut near the IMTRAT hospital in Thimphu. The hut, she lives in with her family, does not have water supply, her family share a toilet with two others, and her hut is surrounded by garbage. "We have to walk down every day to fetch water,' said Dil Maya.
