Latrines and Micro-Loans

Here are a couple photos and updates on some of our most recent projects:

  • Building toilets and bathing areas in the Grafton war-wounded and polio communities. There was a great need for sanitary toilet facilities in these communities. In some areas, their latrines have been over-full, and people have resorted to relieving themselves in drainage ditches that flow throughout the camp.


  • Micro-Business Loans. We've distributed several loans to individuals and families who submitted proposals for small businesss. Some of these businesses include things like selling rice or kerosene, weaving and dying cloth, etc.
