The program, subsidized by the City Council, will replace unsafe and insecure buildings with others that comply with the minimum conditions of habitability.
The 67 beneficiary families are made up of 272 people, of whom 116 (43%) are boys and girls.
The City Council of Murcia and the Vicente Ferrer Foundation are working on the development of a project to access housing and sanitation rights for families of impoverished rural populations in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India, for which they have a subsidy of 41,451, 40 euros.
The aim is to advance the rights related to habitability in two rural communities, especially with the provision of a sanitation system to 67 women and their families, belonging to the most disadvantaged groups of the State of Andhra Pradesh.
The intervention includes the construction in the villages Gandhinagar, Kotampalli and Muchurami of 67 new homes that meet the minimum conditions of habitability, providing them with toilet and bathroom, while proposing the improvement of levels of awareness and knowledge about the right to sanitation, with an impact on good hygiene practices, domestic water management and the use and maintenance of these facilities.
This project is the result of work between the Panchayat (local government), the Community Development Committee (CDC), the grassroots organizations and the beneficiaries and beneficiaries and the local counterpart, to access adequate living conditions.
The 67 beneficiary families live in impoverished rural areas and belong to the lowest castes of Indian society.
Now they live in deteriorated huts, unsafe and insecure, that perpetuate their vulnerability, especially of women.
The place where the project is carried out belongs to India, Andhra Pradesh state, Anantapur district, Bathalapalli and BKSamudram regions, Gandhinagar villages, Kotampalli and Muchurami
67 married women and 116 boys and girls
The project is especially focused on the women of the most impoverished rural areas of India, whose rights are double jeopardized: for belonging to the most disadvantaged groups of the Hindu caste system and for being women.
For this reason, the beneficiaries are 67 married women, aged between 19 and 62 years, who live below the poverty line and belong to collectives historically discriminated against in the caste system.
The houses will be in their name, but the 272 people that make up the families will benefit, of which 116 (43%) are boys and girls.
As for the composition by caste, 88.61% belong to the group of "without caste" and 11.39% to other low castes socially excluded.
The local counterpart with which the project is carried out is the Rural Development Trust.
