As we transform the remote villages of India and other developing countries, our secondary focus after providing clean drinking water is improving sanitation.
Schools, churches, and other public institutions have extremely unclean toilets – if they have any at all. The facilities that can be found are without running water, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and disease.
Not only does this create a health crisis, but it also hits the girls of the community hard. Once a young girl's menstruation starts, she can no longer attend school.
Providing sanitary toilets and facilities with running water to the rural Indian population further decreases disease and allows girls to stay in school!
So far, Breakthrough Water has completed 4 sanitation projects, and 2 more are now in progress.
Help us transform rural villages and send girls back to school by giving the gift of sanitation!
