Dignity Through Sanitation

The clinic now has two flush toilets, two showers and a washbasin. A significant improvement in hygiene, comfort and dignity for patients and staff.

For a long time, the clinic had only a very basic latrine: essentially a simple hole in the ground. Recognising the importance of proper sanitation, we wanted to help create safer and more hygienic facilities for everyone using the clinic.

During our recent visit, we were able to build two proper flush toilets, two showers and a washbasin.

Although these facilities may seem simple, they can make a significant difference. Access to proper sanitation helps improve hygiene and contributes to a healthier environment at the clinic. For women giving birth at the clinic in particular, having access to a shower offers greater comfort, privacy and dignity during an important and vulnerable time.

The showers currently only provide cold water, but having access to proper shower facilities is already a major step forward.

This project is a reminder that meaningful change does not always require something complicated. Sometimes, a better future begins with something as simple — and as essential — as a toilet and a shower. ❤️
