About the Cause
Posted by Huellas de Amor Student Center in El Salvador on 09/04/2025
Children attending the church have expressed discomfort using the current restrooms. We have observed that many prefer not to use them or wait until they get home, as they are not adapted to their needs. The existing restrooms are in poor condition, lacking adequate ventilation and no spaces adapted for the little ones. Furthermore, there are no functional sinks or even basic hygiene conditions. This not only creates discomfort but also poses a risk to the physical and emotional health of children and young people. Therefore, we want to build new, safe, and age-appropriate restrooms. They will have individual stalls, sinks with clean water, gender separation, good ventilation, and durable materials that ensure adequate hygiene conditions. Accessible spaces for younger children will also be included. This project will directly benefit more than 400 children and young people who attend weekly educational, spiritual, and community activities at our church. In turn, it will provide peace of mind to parents, knowing that their children have a decent and safe environment. A proper bathroom is a basic need. With this cause, we seek to ensure every child has a clean, private, and respectful space that strengthens their self-esteem and allows them to participate with greater confidence in all activities.

How the church will sustain the Cause
Our church is committed to sustaining this cause long-term through the ongoing care of the facilities. We will form a team of volunteers responsible for maintenance, regular cleaning, and minor repairs. Additionally, a portion of monthly offerings and contributions will be used to cover basic expenses such as water, cleaning, and necessary materials. With community engagement and a culture of shared responsibility, we will ensure the restrooms remain in good condition without relying on future outside assistance.
As a Church, our vision is to see children grow up with the fear of God, protected and loved. We support their holistic development: body with care, mind with education, heart with values, and spirit with faith, so that they may be light and agents of change in their homes, schools, and communities.
