Safe Toilet for Girls

Shalom WOWzers! 

We are happy to report that Oliva and Tunu’s toilet construction project is now on the final leg of completion. The walls have been successfully built, and the structure is standing strong. All that remains is the installation of the roof, sink, and water tank. We are grateful to see how quickly this project has progressed and look forward to sharing photos of the finished facility very soon.

Before this project, the girls and their elderly father were forced to use a dangerous and unhygienic method—balancing on rotten wooden boards over a hole in the ground, with no access to water for washing. This situation exposed them to serious health risks and daily fear. Today, because of your generosity, they now have a clean, safe, and dignified place to use the bathroom and wash themselves. Their lives have completely changed.

Oliva and Tunu, along with their father, send their heartfelt thanks. They have asked us to express their deep gratitude and to say, “May God bless everyone who has made this wonderful thing happen for us.” Your support has restored not only safety and hygiene, but dignity and hope to this family.

We have already begun work on our next project—building a shelter for another impoverished family who were nearly homeless and caring for their elderly parent suffering from diabetes. We will share more details in our next report. Thank you for standing with us. With your help, we are truly changing lives.
