Delay to achieve our Goal

By Mutiheba Jean Bosco | Project Leader

Dear Patrons,

Thank you for your generous support in bringing safe sanitation and hygiene education to vulnerable communities in the Rulindo District of Northern Rwanda. Many of the poorest families in our area still lack access to basic toilets, which puts their health and safety at risk every day. Through your kindness, we are constructing 20 low-cost, ventilated toilets and providing essential hygiene training to our community’s most vulnerable residents, including orphaned children, women, and people with disabilities.

Thanks to 27 generous donors, we have raised $4,117 toward our $10,000 goal. With these funds, we have already built 9 of the 20 planned toilets and trained community members in proper handwashing and disease prevention. Families who once faced the dangers of using open facilities now have safe, private toilets right at home, greatly reducing diarrhea and other preventable illnesses.

Our next goal is to raise the remaining $5,883 so we can reach the final 11 deserving families who cannot afford to build toilets on their own. Over the coming months, our team will continue building new toilets with available funds while reaching out to new supporters. If you would like to help us finish this vital work, please consider becoming a monthly donor or sharing our project with your friends and family.

Thank you for restoring health, safety, and dignity to families in Rulindo.

Warm regards,

Mutiheba Jean Bosco
