Breaking the circle

Thanks to everyone who's helped us get past the half-way mark for our fundraising. £1501 could provide 60 households in Burkina Faso with a loo!

It might seem like nothing, but a toilet really is something special, people! While you and I take it for granted to some extent (except, admittedly, when your out and about and suddenly really need a wee, and the public toilets need a twenty pence piece but all you've got are coppers...), over TWO AND A HALF BILLION PEOPLE do not have a toilet. And when people don't have a loo, well they have no choice but to do the best they can, digging a hole or something. And then when the rains come all the you-know-what can be washed into water courses, so polluting water supplies and spreading disease... and bringing poverty... and so the circle of poverty goes on... and on......

Together we're helping to break this vicious circle: more toilets = less going to the loo willy-nilly = fewer polluted water supplies = less disease = healthier people more able to make a living = less poverty... it can only get better!

And all for one of these -

Thanks everyone!
Please keep it coming. After all we're only half-way!
Oh yeah and I hope you enjoyed reading our blog... please comment on the posts because that means more people will find us!
