Lane Xang Minerals Limited Company (LXML) proudly announces its recent initiative to enhance sanitation facilities for ten priority villages surrounding the Sepon Mine as part of the Community Health Impact Assessment Phase Two (HIA 2024) project. A formal handover ceremony took place, attended by LXML’s technical staff, representatives from the Vilaybouly District, the district health office, local village authorities, and community members.

The project focuses on the following ten villages: Kok Mark, Kaeng Lek Neua, Pha Philang, Na Ae, Nong Kapang, Na Mon, Sop Saloung, Salor, Pakoi, and Kalay. The total investment in sanitation equipment amounts to 747,940,000 Kip (approximately US$34,239). Each household within these communities has received a comprehensive set of seven essential items to improve sanitation standards, which include:

1. Three pieces P100 of concrete pipe
2. One toilet seat
3. Four sheets of zinc
4. One box of zinc nails
5. One bag of red cement
6. One ventilation pipe
7. One P100 of concrete pipe cap

This initiative seeks to significantly increase the sanitation usage rate among the communities in Vilabouly District and support the achievement of local health targets. The collective goal is to eliminate open defecation in these villages by the end of 2024. Through a combination of funding, provision of materials, and necessary equipment, LXML is committed to successfully facilitating the construction of toilets as part of this vital health initiative.
