About Me: I have decided to work with Citizen Effect and Busoga Trust America to fundraise for the Masindi Well Construction Project as a way to make a long-lasting impact on an entire community. I believe that we are so blessed to have the privilege of living freely and safely in a nation as wonderful as ours. I am dating a soldier in the military and my father is former military, so I have a very strong sense of patriotism. I truly believe that to make the United States and the world a safer place, we must improve the lives of others around the world -- we are global citizens.

In the small agricultural hamlet of Khue Dong, 70 Vietnemese families live without access to proper sanitation facilities. Instead, these villagers are forced to relieve themselves in surrounding areas, including nearby water sources. These actions, however, place the entire community of Khue Dong at risk for significant health problems caused by contaminated water including cholera, parasite infestations, and diarrhea. Tragically, the oldest and youngest members of Khue Dong are most severely affected by these conditions; while the elderly struggle with constant associated health problems, Khue Dong’s children are deprived of the nutrition they need to develop physically and mentally. This project will provide 5 of the poorest rural families in Khue Dong village with indoor toilets. It will ensure that sanitary conditions improve the quality of life for both the 5 selected families and the wider community of Khue Dong. Support this project and partner with Khue Dong’s villagers to ensure that 5 households are equipped with proper sanitation facilities.
