The Problem: Improper sanitation causes intestinal parasites and diarrhea, two of the main causes of death in children under 5 in Nicaragua. Although these conditions are preventable, poor farming communities do not have access to the necessary resources.

The Solution: A bathroom that includes a flush toilet and a shower will end the parasite cycle and significantly reduce preventable diarrhea. If Amigos for Christ finances 90% of the cost and the communities provide 10%, these bathrooms become affordable.
