According to the World Bank, in rural areas, improved sanitation (such as pit latrines) has a rate of return of more than 7x for every dollar invested! This is one of the reasons we are so proud that last year JustHope partners helped provide more than 40 latrines to families in our partner communities!

And we are thrilled

that so many of our partners are taking on the challenge of bringing greater health through improved sanitation!

 

 

 

 

Next month, we begin building 3 more, and several of our partners have plans to provide more latrines this year!

 

None of this would be possible without the collaboration of so many wonderful communities...families...partners.

We would like to take a moment to 

introduce and welcome our new, part-time, interim Development Consultant, Melinda Foster! 

 

Some of you may remember working with her or meeting her through last year's Wine for Water and Hope. She is talented, creative, and a seemingly never-ending source of encouragement and energy! 

 

Thank you for joining us on this journey, Melinda! We're so happy to have you!
