Parkinson's disease is a neuro-degenerative disease with multiple symptoms affecting the physical and psychological wellbeing of PD patients as the disease progresses through time. One of the symptoms of the disease is rigidity. This in turn is affecting smooth defecation process for the patients. PD patients cannot use the normal type of latrine as others. This is so because their legs become rigid due to Parkinson’s. As a result they cannot complete the process of defecation and sometimes the defecate on their clothes. This creates bad smell both for the patients and family members.
It had been affecting their confidence to sit or walk among others. Due to the Global Giving Support for building raised latrine, one patient (Mr. Sintayehu) said, “Know I feel complete like other people and my confidence to walk among others improved greatly”. He added, “I wish long life to GG and its staff for boosting my confidence as human being.”
We at PPSO-E also testify to this fact and this support is genuinely addressing their real life problems. There is no small support.
