A message from the community
We the entire body of St. John De Baptist Catholic Church in Tufa sincerely thank you. Before now, we found it difficult to ease ourselves, especially during our church conferences, because we did not have a good toilet facility. We also found it hard to take care of our visitors. It was indeed challenging for us. But today, you have changed the story of our church. We just can’t thank you enough, but God almighty will reward you in abundance.
-- Matthew Ezekiel Chikko, Community Leader
Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
St. John Da Baptist Catholic Church is in a community where open defecation was so common that it contaminated a distant river that serves as everyone's main water source. The river was causing several types of waterborne diseases. Also, many young girls who defecated in the bush faced issues of personal safety and dignity.
But thanks to our generous donors, Lifewater has built a public toilet for St. John Da Baptist Catholic Church which is providing everyone with safety and dignity -- leading to a much healthier community.
