This Christmas, I am raffling an 11" decorated fruit cake which is vegetarian but contains alcohol and nuts. in order to raise funds to twin our Department's toilet with one in the developing world.  Twinning a toilet costs £60 per toilet.  If we make in excess of our target, we will either twin another one or a tap.  

The cake will be sealed in a box at least two weeks before the draw which will take place at 3pm on Thurday 17/12/20.  Tickets cost £1.

Thanks for reading this and considering tking part.

Without proper toilets and clean water, people are trapped in a vicious cycle:

• They’re likely to become sick through sanitation-related diseases
• Illness means they cannot work or farm their land, so they earn less or grow less food
• Children often miss school, because they are sick or because they’re busy collecting water
• Girls often drop out of school altogether when they start their periods if there are no toilets or changing rooms
• Parents have to pay for medicines or food, so they may fall into debt
• Women and girls risk being attacked or bitten by snakes as they go to the toilet in the open, especially if the culture dictates that they have to go out at night

Water and sanitation projects enable families to build a toilet, have access to clean water, and to learn about handwashing and other hygiene principles.

Dignity is restored when the whole family can use a private, hygienic toilet at their home and no longer have to squat in the bush.
