What's the big deal about toilets anyways?


Today is WORLD TOILET DAY!

JIPPEEEEE!
(never before knew such a day existed….)


BUT

there's a REALLY GOOD reason for it:


DID YOU KNOW

that 40% of the people on our planet

don't have a toilet to use?


This is not just an inconvenience.

It is one of the biggest causes of death for children.

Not having access to a toilet causes more children to die 

than AIDS, malaria and measles combined,

and this problem is easily fixable!



All it takes is education and building toilets.

These are the temporary long-drop toilets at Praise's Home - NOT sanitary!
the cubicle on the right is meant to be for showering, but not usable yet
AND - this "toilet" (really only the one in the middle)
is also the only one getting used by all of the 158 students of Praise's school!


If you want to make a donation in honour of World Toilet Day

so that proper toilets can be built at Praise's Home,

email me for details
(email address on the right side bar)

THANK YOU FOR CARING

for these little ones!
