Folks, did you know there is a WorldToiletDay? November 19, 2022!

Check out this video of Jen doing a walkthrough one of the long drop latrine in Zimbabwe....the type we are building in the Matopos region of that country. Each costs $200 and comes complete with a solar lamp so people feel safe walking to their latrine at night.

We'd love it if you come along and join the party, too, making a donation that can change a family's life for a long time into the future.
