Phausta is an 84-year-old grandmother from Rukungiri district. Phausta cares for six of her biological grandchildren due to their mother and father not being able to provide for them.
Currently, Phausta and her grandchildren live in a small grass thatched house which also doubles as the kitchen and uses the neighbors pit latrine as they do not have one of their own. Sometimes the neighbor’s pit latrine is locked, so Phausta and her family are forced to use the bathroom outside in the banana farm. This poses a risk to their health and that of the community in general.
This year, Nyaka will be constructing a new house including a kitchen and pit latrine for Phausta’s family and improve their standard of living!
