Build a Toilet for Anton & Tharshika
Anton, his wife Tharshika, and their young son Dharon live in a makeshift hut built from tin sheets, coconut leaves, and pieces of sari cloth. It’s the only shelter they could afford after purchasing a small plot of land. Without the means to rent a home or build a proper house, they face the harsh realities of weather, insecurity, and daily hardship.
Anton works as a painter, but his job is unstable. On average, he earns just £50 a month—barely enough to put food on the table, let alone save for building materials or to build a home. Despite their best efforts, the family cannot break free from the cycle of poverty on their own. Their greatest dream is to build a small, solid concrete home—a place where their son Dharon can grow up safely, shielded from rain, wind, and danger. But this dream remains painfully out of reach without help.
A donation of £935 will provide this family with a much needed toilet and waste pit. This includes labour charges for digging the waste pit, which is all done by hand.
