Message from Tesoro
Approximately 2.4 million deaths could be prevented annually if people had appropriate hygiene practices, including reliable sanitation. Nearly 20 percent of the world's population is forced to go to the bathroom out in the open. For only $160, you will help reduce the risk of common diseases by providing a family with an outdoor toilet. The external structure will vary, however each unit includes a dual-tank system for optimized sanitation.
About Outdoor Toilets
2.6 billion people don't have access to even a basic toilet. This leads to bad public sanitation and increases the risk of diarrhea, cholera, typhoid, trachoma and parasitic worms. Further, many people refrain from drinking liquids and suffer from dehydration to avoid the difficulty of going to the bathroom.
For every $160 raised, GFA can build an outdoor toilet that provides a safe, clean, and free way for men, women, and children to use the restroom.
- Families are given a sanitary place to use the restroom, which leads to better sanitation and public health.
- Women are freed from gender-discrimination and sexual abuse while using the restroom.
- Children have a safe place to use the bathroom and avoid diseases like diarrhea—the second biggest killer of children under 5.
