The Community Projects Initiative has become a key pillar of LSF/E4E efforts. Little Sisters work in their community/school to develop their leadership abilities and management skills.  They identify challenges, write proposals to address community needs, oversee the projects, evaluate, and report on the work done. Some of these projects have included establishing community/school libraries, science labs, potable water and purification projects, building child friendly toilets, constructing meeting places, health awareness programs, pavement of school assembly/playground areas etc.

Here is a project Trimuna is especially proud of: In Tanahun district in the area of Bhanu Sanskrit School, there is a dalit (untouchables) community. The upper caste community did not allow dait (untouchables) to use the same water source. So the dalit (untouchables) were facing difficulties to get accessible clean drinking water. After we constructed the water tank and the tap in the community, pure drinking water is now readily accessible to over 500 families and villagers.

Trimuna is a vital team member and gives selflessly of herself daily. We are so grateful for her.
