Health, Hope & Hygiene Campaign
Most of us rarely appreciate the importance of having access to household toilets for our health, safety, and dignity.
In Karnataka, India, toilet
construction offers protection, especially for women and girls, eliminating the need to walk long distances in search of privacy, and the risk of encountering wild animals and other dangers. Household facilities reduce open defecation, protecting the environment and preventing life-threatening diseases that especially impact children under the age of five.
As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, our goal is to build toilets for 60 impoverished families living in the village of Cowdally, Karnataka, India. Two long-time donors from Kingston, Ontario, Canada, graciously offered to match every dollar donated.
UPDATE Sept. 24, 2005: We are delighted to announce that response to this campaign has been incredible and our goal to match $20,000 has been surpassed. In total, including matched funds, we have raised over $50,000, enough to build 60 sanitary toilets in celebration of our 60th anniversary, plus an additional 30.
This is a great start toward our overall goal this fiscal year of building a total of 1000 household sanitary toilets. Thank you! We are invigorated by your support as our work continues.
