Why toilets are important:
When deciding where to allocate resources, RVF helps single mothers and their children first. This is because the money mothers receive almost always goes to their children's needs. We focus on single mothers who are single because they left abuses relationships. We want to encourage women to leave when their lives are in danger. Further, removing kids from domestic abuse situations helps to break the cycle of violence. The toilet/shower structures RVF builds use only local labor and local resources. |
