Building a Toilet for 2 Little Girls, Tunu and Oliver

Warm greetings from all of us at WOW!

We’re writing to share a wonderful update about our housing project for impoverished families. Thanks to your generous support, we have started building a much-needed toilet for Oliver and Tunu's family.

Oliver and Tunu live with their elderly sick father in extremely humble conditions. Until now, the family had no proper toilet or access to clean water, and relied on unsafe and unsanitary methods. This not only affected their dignity but also posed serious health risks—especially for the children.

Because of your kindness, we are now constructing a safe and private toilet for them. We are also hopeful to include a rainwater harvesting unit alongside the toilet, which would be life-changing for the family. Clean water and sanitation are critical, and your support is making this possible.

Thank you for being a part of restoring dignity and hope to vulnerable families like Oliver and Tunu’s. We will keep you updated as the construction progresses.

Here is a video showing our progress with Tunu and Oliver.  YouTube Video Link

With heartfelt gratitude,

Oliver has a chance at life
