Love Africa Project Team
The Love Africa Project was created by its founders as a Not-for-Profit Corporation. An organisation they hope will make a difference to a lot of people by ending open defecation and improving health and wellness one toilet at a time.
Their passion for this project, which they call a Love Movement, was born along the beautiful sandy shores of Salt Pond's coast. They, their volunteers and the community would like to see it remain beautiful and not see it be used - or anywhere else for that matter - as a public latrine.
