Letter 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, more school days for children, and peaceful nights for parents who no longer worry about safety. Yet as a small ministry, our resources are limited, and we rely on the compassion of friends like you.
Your gift—no matter the size—is more than a donation. It’s an embrace of mothers who work from dawn to dusk, of grandparents whose wisdom has weathered storms, and of entire neighborhoods yearning for relief. With your help, we can train local teams to build, maintain, and teach lasting sanitation solutions, turning hygiene into hope.
Will you stand with us and breathe new life into places forgotten by so many? Together, we can show the world that compassion—and a single, simple toilet—can spark brighter tomorrows. Please give PoopPotty the chance to serve, to care, and to honor the dignity of every soul in need.
With gratitude and unwavering hope,
Ndugu Uwumugisha
Founder & President
PoopPotty, a Ministry of TheLeprous International
