Building Sinks for Kids
Quick Overview:
- Build a hand washing station for children in our church to prevent illness
- We have ~350 children who attend our church and need to wash their hands before eating
- Support our mission to keep our church a clean and safe place for these children to learn and grow
About the Cause
We want to build a sink for children to wash their hands, and improve the entire sink area. The sink will be of different height for each age group (2 or 3 sinks, short, medium and high) or (5.50 meters x 75 cm wide). The current sinks are in very poor condition and water accumulates in them. The sinks are also too high and young children cannot reach them. It will take us 6 months to complete the project once funds are available. Our church serves 341 children, church members and neighbors.
Youth and children from the church educational community need a sink for the purpose of washing their hands before consuming their food. They also need a cleaning area that will allow volunteers to clean utensils to keep our educational community facilities clean while participants remain in church facilities. This project will impact disease prevention and improve the health and quality of life of young people and children participating in the educational community.
