Tally's toilets
Last summer, my grand-daughter Tally, her family and I visited Ilawani Nursery school in Kenya. We observed a brilliant local woman, Joyce Mutuku, teaching her young (3-5 year old) students the alphabet, sight words, simple math skills and traditional songs and dances. The school room had a blackboard and a few wall decorations, crowded desks and was host to a group of happy, smiling children. Their outside playground had a few basic pieces of playground equipment, and the students jumped rope, played with a few soccer balls and gleefully enjoyed playing with each other and Tally, Tanner and Travis.
We noticed that 2 students at a time were leaving the playground and disappearing for 5-10 minutes. We asked joyce where the students were going. They were walking to a church several blocks (I say blocks loosely) as they walked down a dusty road) to access the one available latrine. 3 year old kids- walking alone- vulnerable-to use a toilet. Can you help us make sure that Illawani School has access to toilets. Any donation, large or small, will help us reach our goal! Please make an online donation today! Thanks.
We will raise the funds necessary to build accessible latrines that are within the school compound. It will contain a stall for girls, a stall for boys and a stall for teachers. Will you help? Please consider a donation- or better yet- build you own campaign and join me to reach out to family and friends to change the lives of these young students.
