As mentioned in the first video, the three target areas based on our assessment were in agriculture, sanitation and healthcare. Village12 is launching four projects to address the problem in each of these areas:
1) Community cleanup and public park installation.
2) Agriculture production.
3) Latrines and composting system.
4) Medical clinic and healthcare courses.

![Page 14: Agro-sanitation-healthcare project](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5566c932d8b42aac288b5491/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• Projected output: Build 75 (est) low-cost, locally-sourced, locally-approved latrine toilets, enough for 1 for every 10 people. Build a composting system to process the human waste into fertilizer. Hire a batey resident to routinely service the toilets and composting bin.

Medical clinic and Healthcare education
Problem: Malnourishment, dehydration and unsanitary living conditions cause many people to be weak and sick. People do not have the access, attention or education needed to lead healthy, clean lives.

Risk factor
• The Central Bank, which is the government, owns the land of the bateys. The history between Haitians and Dominicans is violent and we have been told the Central Bank has discriminated against the Haitians before. However, despite these rough pasts, we have been in close communication with Central Bank representatives and other community leaders. They told us they are pleased with our progress so far.
• Mitigation Steps: If a situation does arise, we are prepared to peacefully defend people’s rights to a clean, livable environment.
