Post-Implementation Trip

Both of the Bobs have returned to Rwanda to follow up on the latrine construction project and explore possibilities for future projects. We received a message from the Bob's on Saturday. When they arrived they found out that Samajeli was put into jail for a crime unrelated to the project two months ago for bribing an offical. Then the second mason was also put into jail they think also for bribing an official. As a result, the project has not been progressing too quickly over the last two months. The Bob's were going to check the 10 latrines that had been destroyed in some manner on Sunday or Monday. Also they texted today. They have completed an assessment of the village. They said that all completed latrines look good but didn't give too much detail on the broken latrines.
