About the Event
Youth Island NY & Boston Education Counseling aim to fundraise for a bathroom renovation project at a school in Tanzania, which will provide students there with a cleaner, healthier environment in which they can achieve the full potential of their education.

In Tanzania, less than half of all rural public schools possess proper toilet facilities, and functional handwashing stations exist in less than 45 percent of rural school buildings. In these areas, students are at risk for diseases that can spread very easily in an unsanitary environment, causing long-term health effects and even stunting their growth.
