Toilet support

By Tsion Terefe | Director

Parkinson patients support organization –Ethiopia (PPSO-E) constructs a modern raised toilet to its poor  Parkinson patient 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 use ground hole usually sitting on their legs.. To sit on legs to urinate and defect is uncomfortable and  painful. It can also become a cause of falling  and possible to contaminated with bad smell

To help the 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 PPSO-E believes the quality of life for those patients beneficiaries  improved 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.
