Modern raised toilet makes my life easier

By Tsion Terefe | Director

Modern raised toilet makes my life easier

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and manifests as bradykinesia, rigidity, resting tremor and posture instability. It is also associated with a diversity of non-motor symptoms.

Parkinson patients required a better utility to live quality of life like, modern raised toilet. Most of our poor Parkinson patients, however, use hole on ground toilet. Parkinson patients face challenge, when using a ground toilet sitting on legs to urinate or defect. They have got difficulty in getting on and off toilet, going again and again as they couldn’t comfortably finish defecation. The challenge of using ground toilet is more saviors on women as they have to sit for urine and defection. Therefore the frequency of walking to toilet is higher for women.By constriction of modern toilet,PPSO-E helps women to live better life and  have more free time for other activities.

Here is the experience of W/ro Agegnwe .

Previously when using ground toilet, I had to sit and stand before finish. Even for the short time sitting, I look for support by touching the ground which exposed me to fall. Sitting and standing for urine and defection took a lot of time and energy. As using ground toilet made me so mach hardship, I was almost stopped drinking water to minimize urine. This exposed for me other health problems. Now after this modern toilet constructed, my problems were solved and I get more time to pray. Thanks to the donations of Global giving, using modern raised toilet makes my life easier.
