Plumbing Problems, Basic Sanitation


There are two bathrooms in the house. This one isn't functional -- at all -- and is currently used for storage.

The working bathroom suffers from serious problems: Mold, leaking pipes, and no cold water.

It has hot water for both the sink and the tub, but there is no cold water available so they fill up buckets with cold water from the kitchen when drawing a bath for the little ones. Lots of work!

The bathrooms will be the first thing to be renovated. The smaller bathroom will have a shower added to it so that the wonderful women working at the shelter will have a place to get ready in the morning.

Having this completed will improve the morning routine with the children tremendously.
