Members of SI Beverley and District have been saving pennies for several months in order to raise the \u00a360 necessary to fund the provision of\u00a0 water and sanitation in a village in Africa.<\/p>\n

One child dies every two minutes because of dirty water and poor sanitation. In Africa, half of young girls who drop out of school do so because they need to collect water or because the school hasn\u2019t got a basic toilet. Women and girls are vulnerable to being bitten by snakes, or attacked, as they walk to the edge of their community to go to toilet in the open, late at night.<\/p>\n

In Central African Republic, Ericaine and her family fled to a camp when militia destroyed their community. At first, they had only a tarpaulin to shield them from the rain, and nothing to protect them from hunger, diarrhea\u00a0and typhoid. Many young children fell sick, and some even died. Women were forced to venture into the bush to go to the toilet, risking attack. Everything changed when the charity supported a project that installed proper toilets and handwashing stations in the camp, and made the water supply safe to drink. \u2018I know how important the toilets are for our health. Things were so bad before: now, they\u2019re so much better. I can\u2019t thank you enough for helping us.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

For every \u00a31 spent on water and sanitation, more than \u00a35 is returned through reduced health costs and increased productivity.<\/p>\n

How does it work? For \u00a360, you can twin your toilet with a single, household latrine in an impoverished community. For \u00a3240, you can twin with a school block or a displacement camp block. You\u2019ll receive a certificate to hang in your loo \u2013 featuring a photo of your toilet twin, the latrine\u2019s location and even its GPS coordinates so you can find your twin online!<\/p>\n

The club members continue to ‘spend a penny’ and save them to support further work by the Toilet Twinning Charity<\/p>\n
