LDS Charities is committed to lifting burdens and providing hope in one more Roma village.
Over 700 residents call Sačurov home. It is said to be one of the worst Roma villages in the region with few utilities. A outdoor hand pump is located several meters away as their only water source.
Every day, hundreds of small children play outside and most spend hours among filth and trash in the streets. Roma kids are dirty, stinky, unkempt, and carriers of head lice. Diseases can spread from one person to another because they lack
regular hygiene practices.
With limited opportunities, the community
center is working closely with children who have the support of their parents to teach and practice habits that prevent the spread of diseases and infections. The children are encouraged to come to the community center where they can use the toilet and wash their hands. They are also taught to brush their teeth.
A permanent hygiene center was approved and with the mayor, the project is moving forward. Sometime next year we hope showers and toilets are complete for families to properly bathe and clean themselves. This will be an improvement overall for the health and wellness of so many residents.
His hope is to encourage the Roma men to help construct the new structure. The mayor took this proposal to the village council for approval, funding, and permits.
This project is awaiting permits and our replacement couple will ensure the completion of the project to meet the agreed upon measurable outcomes and objectives.
