Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)

Open defecation and urination perpetuates the vicious cycle of disease and poverty, and is an affront to personal dignity. The practice has harmed the people, and especially the children, of Angwan Gimba. With the construction of a second public toilet in the community, thanks to Lifewater Canada donors, there is bound to be a reduction in open defecation and urination. This will benefit the community and enable it to serve as a model to neighbouring communities. The residents are happy that a Christian charity has come to their aid and given them hope and human dignity.
