Parkinson patients support organization –Ethiopia (PPSOE) constructs a modern raised toilet to its poor Parkinson patients members. Defection is one of a normal process of a human being. For Parkinson patients to defect and urinate, there is a need to have a proper raised toilet. But in our case poor Parkinson patient can not afford to build a proper (raised toilet) . They are forced to use ground hole sitting on their legs.. To sit on legs to urinate and defect is uncomfortable and painful. It can also become a source of falling and possible to contaminated with bad smell To help this poor Parkinson patients,
PPSO-E with the fund obtained from GlobalGiving started to construct a modern raised toilet to its members. By constructing a modern raised toilet PPPSO-E believes the quality of life for those patients beneficiaries raised significantly.
This is a testimony of .Ato Eshetu beneficiaries of a modern of raised toilet how it improved his life. Before I become a Parkinson patient I had no problem in defection. But after being a patient, my legs are weak, most of the time rigid and shaky. But now I had difficulty to of use ground toilet because of my legs, I cant sit longer instead I stand and sit again and again. Most the time I stop before finishing. I also got bad smell as my clothe touch dirty things, There is also a falling problem. In addition I embarrassed of having of bad smell I was not willing to meet people, even my cloth relative. But now with this clean modern raised toilet, my quality of life improves. Now pain in my legs reduces. I use the toilet until comfortably finished. I start visiting my friends and accepting visitors happily. I am back to normal thanks to PPSO-E. God bless to those helped me.
