Marika's Birthday Campaign for Composting Latrines

End Date: Nov 25, 2013 12:00 AM

Hello All!

My name is Marika, and for my 24th Birthday I am asking that you donate to help create, educate and empower.

In February of this year, I worked with fellow volunteers from Dalhousie to construct composting latrines for families in Platanilla - a rural community in eastern Panama. In just one week we were able to complete the construction of latrines for four families, but there are still numerous families in this community (and others) waiting to receive these latrines.

Because of this, for my 24th birthday I am asking that anyone who is able make a donation of $24 (one for each of my years!) to support this campaign. For every $550 raised, a family in Platanilla will receive a much-needed latrine to improve sanitation and overall health.

Thank you for your support!
