The Porta Potty Project
Humanitarian Action Network started the Porta Potty Project in January 2020 to provide porta potties to people experiencing homelessness in the communities we serve. Everyone should have access to a bathroom. It’s the right thing to do for people, and it’s the right thing to do for the environment. As of December 2022, our Porta Potty Project had kept 56,900 gallons of untreated human waste out of the environment, and has continued to properly dispose of an additional 2,000 gallons of waste each month since then (we stopped counting). To get an idea of the impact of this project, an average home swimming pool holds 10,800 gallons.
By supporting the Porta Potty Project, you are helping to restore human dignity, safe guard public health, and protect the environment. The Porta Potty Project is a win-win-win, and is funded entirely by donations. If you would like to donate specifically to this project, please send a check payable to Humanitarian Action Network, to P.O. Box 246835, Sacramento, CA 95824, and notate "Porta Potty Project" on your gift. You can also donate directly to the Porta Potty Project through PayPal using the link below.
