When you look at SOLISTER PHIRI, 52, father of 6 kids and 2 grandchildren, you would never imagine that he is one of the most prominent specialists in Water and Sanitation. This Malawian carpenter has a dream: to stop Open Air Defecation OD. This dream is slowing becoming true in Malawi, partly because of his devoted work.
I met Solister visiting the COWATER project of latrine construction at the primary school of Chihuhainein the Mozambican district of Panda. He had travelled from Malawi by bus and had been working with the “Conselho da Escola” (School Council), teachers and students in a two weeks workshop.(complete interview)
