"The lack of cleanliness can take our lives"
-Charimaya Majhi, Jholunge, Nepal
No toilet means a lack of education for girls, no dignity for women and dirty water contributing to disease that claims the lives of almost 800 children everyday, one every two minutes.
Together let's wipe out
the sanitation crisis!
Project #1 - Namuna
A whopping 41% of schools in Nepal lack clean and functioning toilets. We've partnered with Namuna Primary School in Jumla Bazaar with the goal of accomplishing the following:
1) Construct a gender friendly sanitation complex (3 female, 2 male, 1 handicap/wheelchair accessible) for over 280 students and their teachers.
2) Implement the first hygiene curriculum at Namuna Primary School by training local teachers who can teach their kids.
3) Collaborating with locally based artisans, actors and musicians and connect with the community through advocacy initiatives.
Cost: $8,000
Project Start: March 2020
Project #2 - Jholunge
We came to Jholunge after the earthquake in 2015 and worked alongside the community to build sustainable eco toilets. So far we have built three and our work is far from over.
1) Construct 7 urine diverting toilets, increasing the total toilet coverage in the village from 30% to 100%.
2) Supporting Suryoda Primary School, by providing resources to continue with hygiene education, as well as training incoming teachers.
3) Continue research on our toilet concept, using worm composting and building a greenhouse to use organic fertilizers.
Total Budget: $7,000
Project Start: June 2020
We are a 100% volunteer based organization
where every dollar benefits our projects and
social impact!
