A Perilous Journey (1/2)

Fatima lives in Sri Lanka with her son, her three daughters, and an elderly aunt. Her income of only £51 a month meant Fatima couldn’t afford to build a latrine next to her home, which forced her family to travel three kilometres to the forest to fulfil their basic needs. Fatima's young children had to be escorted to the forest for protection and the women were frequently harassed by thugs. Moreover, there is flooding in the area twice a year, which made the journey even more difficult.

A First-Rate Gift for Fatima's Family (2/2)

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we were able to build a safe, clean latrine for Fatima’s family, and they no longer have to face this dangerous journey. Fatima told us this gift has completely changed their lives, as they can now live without fear of violence and harassment and fulfil their needs in hygienic conditions.
