Parkinson as a neuro degenerative disrorder that affects parkinson patients physically, mentally, enotionally as well as socially. As years pass by the disease ususally progresses to the level of making patients disabled. Due to disability patients can not easily defecate when the go to latrine. They normal latrine constructedin Ethiopia is not conducive for the patients to sit easily and finish the defeaction process. Patients usually interrupt the process and this causes them to some sort of emotional disturbance & back pain. In the abscence of raiosed latrione which was constructeds for patients throgh the donation from global giving, it is unthinkable to bring joy & satisfaction to PD patients.
Thanks to global giving for assisting our patients. One of rtyhe beneficiery patientsa forinstance testifiedas follows:
"Workshet Mekonnen said that he cannot believe he could receive sucgh support inhis life time without assistances fromglobal giving.Before constructionof raisedlatrine,peoiple mannually bring local tool for defecation, but now i can comfortably sit on my homemade raised latrine. "
