Meet Chief Marios.
Chef lives with his extended family in a traditional 'boma' in the Rift Valley in Northern Tanzania. The family are semi-nomadic, living off their land with their herds of goat and cattle. Neighbourning families live nearby in separate bomas. Here are some of his family members.
. 
There is currently no toilet for the community and Chief has a vision to build a sustainable toilet for his family and neighbours. The toilet will be built using materials purchased locally and by labourers from the community.
Chief has drawn the outline of the plot where his toilet will be positioned and he would love your help!
We've turned the first soil and now you're invited to be a part of this project, providing practical support to a generous and caring family.

How The Funds Will Be Used
All funds raised will go directly to Chief's toilet project, delivered by our team in Tanzania (from Arusha to the village, about a 3 hour drive). Materials will be purchased locally and some tradesmen will be contracted to build. Any additional funding raised will be used to purchase goods and food for the family.
Here is Chief's first cut at the budget after our meeting with him recently. We are working through each of these items (truck for transporting sand and concrete, paying labourers, purchasing iron sheets, etc).
