Just retired from teaching at university and I know some ex students are taking ideas and using them across the world. Can do more - note first sentence - so please contact if you think I can be of use.
Wow. I love rural areas wherever they may be, whether in Wales where I am now, or Zambia where I worked.
All people have clean water, safe sanitation and opportunities to practice good hygiene. I have a scheme to link SMS, sanitation, village businesses and micro finance. Nothing in it is new of itself, but the combination should work well. I've tried 'every' charity and organisations such as USAID/WB, but they are really big businesses and/or donors and not interested in simply empowering village people. If you are interested please e-mail.
My background is in environmental health especially epidemiology, water and sanitation. I've worked in UK, Europe and Zambia as a Public Health Officer. My PhD is in freshwater biology and I turned to teaching as a way of pursuing the original aims of good health via a healthy environment.
