WILLS POINT, TX – Discover how an outdoor toilet restored dignity and provided safety for a disabled woman and her entire village lacking sanitation.
Lachlan watched his wife, Favianna, lean on her walker, her movements stilted and slow.

For Favianna, the open fields with uneven ground and no privacy were hazardous places for the woman to relieve herself.
