One of the biggest challenge for people with Parkinson’s disease is difficulty of getting on and off from pit latrines. They have weak legs and can’t squat to use toilets as normal people do. As a result, raised toilet is one of the primary needs for Parkinson’s disease patients. One of the primary aims of Parkinson’s patient support organization is building Latrine for patients, who are unable to use pit latrine. With the money collected from Global Fund giving, the organization constructed latrine for selected patients. The patients were happy for having raised toilet. They reported that the new toilet has helped them a lot in using toilet anytime they need.
