The HWF helped mobilize the local community at Rohtas to build and manage a partially financed sanitation scheme to help upgrade the village into a ‘model heritage village’.  The local community was persuaded to establish a Citizens’ Community Board (CCB) and agree to contribute 20% of the total cost of the sanitation scheme.  Under this scheme, two separate sewage trunk pipes were laid and a collection tank was constructed at the end of the village’s two main streets, and the main ‘heritage’ street paved.
