The Basics
Proper sanitation and hygeiene are basic human rights.
UNICEF published a report that high incidences of diarrhoeal diseases
alone account for one fifth of the deaths of children age five and under in
Cambodia.
And an estimated 10,000 overall deaths annually, largely owing to lack of
sanitation and poor hygiene practices.
Villages in some parts of Cambodia do not even have the physical facade
to call a toilet. Besides the lack of privacy and plumbing system, they are
also exposed to diseases and dangers from wild animals when relieving
themselves, especially at night.
Oftentimes, a makeshift toilet, with walls from large pieces of cloth is
constructed which are shared among the many houses in the village.
What We Do
Hence, we try to provide solutions to these villagers by constructing toilets
for them.
Their DIY "open-concept" toilets provide no privacy at all as a human being.
This will most importantly provide proper and cleaner sanitation, thus
preventing spread of diseases.
How You Can Help
I know that you too want to make changes in other people’s lives.
So let’s join hands and together, we can make the world a better place for
our friends.
A contribution of $770 installs a phyiscal small facade that they can use as a toilet.
