Youngs
India is a KP organisation based in Jammu run by dedicated, young Kashmiri
Pandits Vivek Raina,
Chairman.
His task is to get individual
latrines built in several refugee camps. It is a novel concept, where
a beneficiary, primarily a refugee family having handicapped members or
more girl children, pays Rs 1600 for a latrine, whereas Rs. 2400 are paid
by Kashmiri Overseas Association
(KOA) of USA. The idea is simple - each beneficiary takes the ownership
of the latrine, and enjoys privacy. The latrines built for all the refugees
by 'Sulabh' lack maintenance and basic sanitation. In first phase, as many
as 25 latrines will be built at Muthi, Purkhoo, Mishriwala and Nagrota
refugee camps. Donations are always welcome.
