Resources
LIFE is working to develop resource material in the form of manuals, newsletters, posters, write-ups and illustrations on water, sanitation and shelters. The focus of the resource materials would be to raise awareness about the existing and upcoming technologies, implementation methods and the impact (either the lack or the provision) of appropriate services on health and human development. These resources are meant to be ideally suitable for NGOs, students, Government Agencies and others working interested in the field of water/ sanitation and shelters.

WATER AND SANITATION STATUS (SOUTHEAST ASIA)
The following table gives details of water-sanitation status in Southeast Asian nations. It is to be noted that a few countries in the region have achieved significant sanitation coverage. Yet, Indonesia, after India and China, ranks third in terms of total number of people lacking sanitation and over 90% of rural Cambodians are bereft of sanitation.
