Problem

Imagine having to walk for miles to find somewhere safe and clean to go to the toilet. Add to that inconvenient access the exposure to disease, lack of privacy, and indignity. This is the situation families, and particularly women, face daily whose privacy is violated by not having a latrine.

Furthermore, bad health caused by poor sanitation adversely affects the family economy and nutrition.

The Gift

Your gift will provide a pit latrine for two household compounds -- but your generosity will extend far beyond that!

By providing ready convenient access to a safe and clean place to go, your gift will reduce the potential danger to women of sexual harassment, assault and animal attacks during long walks to find private spots, while ensuring their comfort, sense of dignity, and well-being.
