PoopPotty is a ministry of The Leprous International, born from a call to restore dignity where it’s most overlooked: in the simplest, most human need—relieving ourselves with privacy, safety, and honor.
We provide spaces where every person—child or elder, mother or father—can care for their God-created body with respect and responsibility. We believe that even the act of using the toilet should reflect the sacred image of God in us.
Our Team
We are a movement of believers, engineers, health workers, volunteers, pastors, and parents—united by one conviction:
No one should have to suffer shame just to use the bathroom.
Our team includes;
Local champions in Haiti, DR Congo, and Sudan—who guide and lead every effort with wisdom and cultural insight.
Sanitation engineers and water technicians with years of field experience.
Spiritual leaders and chaplains who ensure that every act of service is also a testimony of Christ’s love.
Volunteers and donors across North America, from teens to retirees, who give, pray, and advocate with joy.
We work side by side, never top down. We listen. We learn. We build together. Because the real heroes aren’t just those who fund or plan, but those who live the mission daily on the ground.
A Message From Our Founder
Dear Friends,
There are moments in the field that never leave you—like the mornings I spent in Haiti, watching a long, weary line of faces waiting desperately for a pit latrine. That scene pulled me back to my childhood in the Congo, when my sister, my mother, and I risked falling into those same pits simply because there was nowhere safe to go. I wouldn’t wish that fear on anyone.
Today, I believe that fear can end—one person, one family, one community at a time. Hallelujah! Drawing on our experience responding to disasters around the world and fueled by a steadfast hope, I founded PoopPotty to bring clean, private toilets to those who need them most.
From the very start, our promise has been simple: every person deserves the dignity of a hygienic place to answer nature’s call. We’ve seen the difference a sturdy, well-built toilet makes—fewer illnesses…
Our work is grounded in the golden rule. Do to others what you would have them do to you – (Matthew 7:12). That means we treat every community, every family, and every individual with the same compassion, excellence, and dignity we’d want for ourselves.
We believe in;
Human dignity, even in the hidden moments.
Love in action, not just words.
Stewardship, sustainability, and local empowerment.
Serving as Christ did, joyfully, humbly, and tangibly.
