It's undeniable that stuff happens. And when it does in a rural area without indoor plumbing it's a big problem. Who gives a care? We do! Because safe water, toilets, and improved sanitation save almost 850,000 lives each year. Two months ago the toilets that service the health center went out. What happens to sewage without toilets? It is not well contained and diseases spread easily. Crops? Children playing outside? They get exposed to...well...you know what...
Therefore, To enusure that our partners and the members of our community live healthy happy lives free of the disease causing contaminants that should be contained by a latrine, we are answering their request to fix the hospital's damaged pit latrines. How much does such a project cost? About $3,000 toward the hospital will go to this essential project.
How can you help? Are you looking for a gift for someone this Holiday but worried all of your ideas are crummy? Consider sponsoring our pit latrine project. It's not a crummy idea! It could save a life!
