B. ORGANIZATIONS, MEDIA AND SERVICES: We consulted according to their own inhabitants.

PUBLIC SERVICES: The families of the young nation February 18 if you have the basic facilities of public lighting and electric light within their homes. However with what does not count is with the services of water and drain. Families are provided with water through a tank of the Regional Government of Lambayeque, which carries water 2 or 3 times per week, but that is currently under repair. For this reason, the villagers are forced to buy the to 60 cents of sun the bucket of water for human consumption, the purchase is being done on an Mr of your community, of which it is not known how get. They also have some sediment to extract the water, but this is not fit for human consumption, so the only used to wash your clothes, and other complementary actions.The Provincial Government of Lambayeque account with another tank, but he inexplicably only provides water to the gardens of the central parts of the city of Lambayeque. Nor do they have with the service of drainage, then the families have cesspools or latrines within their homes, to carry out their depositions and basic needs. All of this are some of the main causes for which the residents, especially children, suffer from contagious diseases

AVENUES OF COMMUNICATION: Despite the fact that this young nation is close to a road, its streets are not paved, living in an environment with much dust, which causes multiple diseases

C. MAIN PROBLEMS AND NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY:

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

Sources of contaminationIn human settlement "February 18" sources of pollution that cause the most common diseases in the locality are:

a) Within the home

Water: The lack of water and sanitation have been formed in the main problem that afflicts this area. It is therefore expected outbreaks of diseases of the digestive tract. • * Housing: manufactured homes of materials such as adobe, mats and quincha, among others, are the habitat of various microorganisms that cause disease. The floor in the be of land, it is a strong focus on respiratory diseases: bronchitis, etc

Food: That washed with water unfit for consumption or undercooked may cause digestive diseases. The utensils and the kitchen in evil states or dirty contribute to the injury to health.

• Breeding of animals: Inside the house is dangerous as the hair of animals (domestic or human consumption) is infested with micro-organisms that are harmful to the health of people especially children and the elderly. Animals performed their physiological needs within the home that is also very damaging to the family by the smell issuing and pheromones of flies and other insects

Bathroom: Blind pit latrines or do not have a drainage system so that pollution is more fluid and the water service is low, which all make use of the same jug; which left floating in the water defiled it with the party that is caught, or is missing. In the case of personal hygiene, not properly wash their hands since that amanece, constitutes a major source of collapse or myriad of diseases.In the case of the shower must be performed instead closed not in the open air, because it is a hotbed of respiratory diseases

b) Outside the home. Middens: that accumulate in the corners of the houses, or in the asequias represent foci of infectious diseases that are the favorite place of scavengers and insects that carry diseases. • * Food stalls, canteens: People who suffer from diseases by ignorance or irresponsibly come to these places is also crowded by people and cause a massive contagion of diseases.

PROBLEMATIC ECONOMIC PARTNER

After the recognition of the area we have an overview of the critical situation facing the community. That is summed up as follows:

The level of education of its residents is fairly low, since not all can access it. • * There seems to be no neighborhood organizations to expose their problems to the authorities.

Total disinterest on the part of the authorities to resolve the basic problems affecting the community.

Poverty, frustration and exclusion, as well as the models of social deviation to the who are exposed most of these inhabitants make this community can be fertile ground for crime.

EPIDEMIOLOGY OF POPULATION:

MOST PREVALENT DISEASES:After making home visits, we learned about the major diseases afflicting the population.

1. Digestive System Diseases. These diseases are usually caused because the community is supplied with contaminated water, which is a reservoir of organisms that spend part of their life cycle there and another part as parasites of animals.These organisms can thrive in both contaminated and uncontaminated waters. As parasites, they usually take the form of worms and animal vectors make use of intermediaries and then directly infect humans by penetrating through the skin or be swallowed by it.

2. Diarrhoeal diseases. For most people, diarrhea is a fad and an unpleasant event. But for others, especially children and elderly, can be dangerous. Basically, diarrhea is the passage of watery or loose stools may contain blood, pus or mucus.The most serious cases of diarrhea may be caused by viruses (such as rotavirus), bacteria (such as Salmonella, E. coli or Campylobacter), parasites (such as Giardia lamblia). Diarrheal disease can be temporary or may occur in outbreaks where many people are affected.

3. Respiratory Diseases. Respiratory diseases occur mainly in winter periods of very low temperatures, can also be favored by environmental factors. For example the use of coal instead of gas can cause the accumulation of particles that are lodged in the airways.Among the most common respiratory diseases are:

4. Flu. Light is a viral infection that occurs in the nose, throat or bronchi. Symptoms include discomfort, runny nose, constant sneezing and coughing. Water dripping nose.

5. Pneumonia.

Patients with pneumonia present with cough that produces yellow or green phlegm which means there is an infection, high fever accompanied by chills, stabbing chest pain, continuous vomiting, fatigue, lack of Aptit etc

6. Bronchitis. It is the inflammation of the main air passages to the lungs. Acute bronchitis usually follows a viral respiratory infection. At first, it affects your nose, sinuses and throat and then spreads to the lungs.
