Roofed laundry room
The foundation lacks basic infrastructure: there is no proper laundry room. The clothes of approx. 45 children are currently washed in an improvised way - the water is stored in a container, the laundry is scrubbed by hand on a washbasin. In addition there is one old washing machine, which has been donated in the past. The clothes are then hung up around the house to dry. Once the laundry is almost dry, it is hung up in the hallways and then stacked in storage cupboards.
The linen from 40 beds is changed every 15 days, towels are replaced weekly and the daily amount of dirty laundry is enormous. In addition, there is no special room for drying or storing the laundry.
Behind the water barrel there is a small storage room that has the potential to be converted into a functional washroom. This room already has a water connection, but is currently only covered with plastic sheeting. In order to create a sustainable and hygienic solution, this area is to be converted into a roofed washroom with a permanent roof and functional equipment.
The new washroom would be a huge relief for the children and care staff in the home. It would provide a central point of encounter to effectively wash, dry and store the daily laundry.
