| Description: | Ruhoko A and B and Kabwera B of Nakivale refugee center in Uganda have 3836 people and 527 households that lack latrines. I offered a collaborator in Uganda, Mystery Gorilla Foundation, to pay for up to 3 wells in each village if they would complete latrines and handwashing stations for each household. I have paid for the malaria program but not the latrine one. The cost of the latrines is estimated at $10,405.29. The community and Mystery Gorilla will contribute $1104. P2P Inc., Chris' non-profit, will contribute $6556. eClubOne is requested to add $3000. The result of this, combined with filters, latrines, handwashing stations and the wells, is expected to be an almost elimination of diarrhea in these refugee villages, per results in past projects.

| History of Involvement: | In February, Chris Roesel traveled to Uganda and visited Nakivale Refugee Center in Uganda with the CEO and staff of Mystery Gorilla Foundation. Some households had no sanitation. Many had extremely poor, dangerous latrines. Almost none had handwashing. With these conditions, diarrhea is estimated to exist in 60% of the children every two weeks. We will get better data from our baseline evaluation. |
