Story

A LOO-VELY LITTLE STORY Five years ago, Sita was suicidal. She and her husband Ankoma were deep in debt. The meagre income they received from harvesting cashew nuts didnt cover the familys trips to the health clinic. The bills stacked up. The children were often sick. Diarrhoea can be fatal in remote rural communities in north-east Ivory Coast, so life was precarious. We felt trapped, Sita says. Whats the point in living if youre in debt to everyone? A simple toilet has restored the familys health so they can now afford to send the children to school and build a new home. But more than 2 billion people are still trapped in a vicious circle like Sita was and Toilet Twinning is a way to do something about it!
