Due to the over-use and poor location of the current toilets, several of our children have been ill with typhoid fever. These conditions are shameful in the 21st century where nations across the world have signed the UN charter affirming that the right to sanitation is a basic human right.
These children can be sponsored through our special SOS (Solve Our Sanitation) Sponsorship Program. We are offering a limited number of children on a Basic Program Sponsorship. While breakfast, uniform and school supplies are not included in these basic sponsorships, the children are provided an opportunity to exchange letters with their sponsors and receive encouragement. To participate in the SOS program, make a donation of at least $25, $35 or $50, whatever you are comfortable with. These funds will be used to purchase land for latrines. The school has received an opportunity to have six latrines built -- these are desperately needed.
