Levevilkårene forbedres, men pludselig sker katastrofen : Siden slutningen af 2008 har Mission Øst gennemført et projekt i den nordlige Zerafshan dal i Tadsjikistan, der har til hensigt at bekæmpe den ekstreme fattigdom blandt befolkningen i landområderne i denne isolerede del af landet. Projektet har to overordnede formål: 1) At mindske forekomsten af vand- og hygiejnerelaterede sygdomme, som hæmmer befolkningens produktivitet ved at skaffe billige, passende og bæredygtige ydelser af rent drikkevand og sanitet og ved at fremme gode praksisser inden for hygiejne; og 2) mindske de negative virkninger, de hyppige strømudfald har på den sårbare befolkning ved at indføre teknologier for alternativ energitilførsel. Indtil videre har resultaterne af projektet været imponerende, men den 24. august oplevede vi et stort tilbageskridt, da en del af projektområdet blev ramt af det største mudderskred i 80 år. Mission Øst var med det samme på pletten og organiserede, at to bulldozere ryddede 2,7 kilometer vej til indbyggerne i området. Men at rydde hele området for mudder vil tage lang tid, og én af de vigtigste indsatser vil være genetableringen af den vandforsyning, Mission Øst tidligere havde etableret. Indtil videre arbejder vi med at mindske risikoen for sygdom ved at dele kloramin-tabletter ud til befolkningen, som de kan bruge til at rense det vand fra åbne kanaler, de er nødt til at bruge for at skaffe drikkevand. Der er imidlertid hele tiden risiko for udbrud af tyfus, kolera og andre vandbårne sygdomme.

Improving livelihoods and then seeing a village destroyed : Since the end of 2008, Mission East has carried out a project in the Zerafshan Valley of Northern Tajikistan, aiming to alleviate the extreme poverty of the rural population in this isolated part of the country. The project has two overall objectives: 1) reducing the incidence of water and hygiene-related illnesses that inhibit productivity through improved low-cost, appropriate and sustainable water and sanitation services and promoting good hygiene practices; and 2) reducing the adverse effects of power outages on vulnerable populations through the introduction of alternative energy technologies. So far, the results have been impressive, but on August 24th, a major setback was suffered when a part of the project area was hit by the worst mudslide in 80 years. Immediately, Mission East intervened and organized for two bulldozers to clear the 2.7 kilometer road leading to the area. But cleaning up the area hit by the mudflow will take a long time, and one of the prime concerns is the re-establishing of the water supply. So far, we are reducing the risk of disease by providing the inhabitants with chloramine tablets to be used with the water collected from open streams. The risk is ever there for an outbreak of typhoid, cholera or other water-borne diseases.
