Sanitary Care - Toilet, Well and Water Tower

Greetings.   

R.O.C.K.’s vice president and I just returned from visiting the Teahplay School in Liberia, West Africa. We presented the desks and chairs to the students who were sitting on classroom floors. We also presented blackboards for each classroom, and desks and chairs for each teacher. We also treated the children to a special meal of beef stew, rice, and potato greens. The students and staff were extremely excited and thankful.

This was possible because of kind and thoughtful donors like you.

But a dangerous and distressing problem remains. There is no water on the school grounds and the students and staff use pit toilets or the bush to relieve themselves. Students and teachers often become sick because of these unsanitary conditons - no water to wash their hands. Land was identified for the placement of decent toilets, a septic tank, well and a water tower at the school. A hallway would be built to connect the toilets to the school so that the students and staff do not have to walk in the rain to use the bathrooms.

We have already started on the “Road to Sanitary Care” for the students and staff of the Teahplay School. It is estimated that US$15,000 is needed to complete this project. So far, we have raised $870. We need $14,130.00 to bring sanitary care - clean water and decent toilets - to the Teahplay School. Our goal is to start and complete this project for the academic year 2024-2025.

Join us in our efforts to bring sanitation to the Teahplay School. Please give your donation, ask your friends to donate, and spread the word about this important project.

Thank you.

Carol
