What are the washrooms like? Are there showers or toilets?
While on the farm, you will have use of an outhouse on Reuben’s property. There are three shower stalls and three latrines. All have doors with locks. One of the latrines is a long drop, which means there is a hole in the floor and you need to practice your aim. Two of the latrines have actual toilets in them, which is a luxury and not common in Western Kenya . The shower stalls have a small hole in the ground for drainage but do not have a showerhead. You can boil some water and mix it in a bucket with cold water from the well to use for ‘showering’. Each volunteer hut is equipped with a plastic pitcher that you can use to get water from the bucket for washing. When you are in town, traveling, or on presentations, be prepared for some less-than-ideal washroom set-ups. Most will be long-drops and many will be very dirty.
