It was observed that the community, because have sanitary problem and absence of public policy, has a profile for our work. The data obtained through questionnaires (PRD, Participatory Rapid Diagnosis) with residents revealed that even sensitized, no are engaged for construction of the BS. The explanation was the lack of financial resources, although they are willing to build, if development agencies to make available these resources to purchase the necessary materials.
