The porta potty project

Humanitarian Action Network (HAN) believes that everyone should have access to bathrooms in order to eliminate waste with privacy and dignity, regardless of housing status. Additionally, untreated human waste in the environment should be considered a major public health concern.  For these reasons, HAN made providing porta potties to people experiencing homelessness in Sacramento a priority in January 2020 with the launching of the Porta Potty Project.  

Since then, Humanitarian Action Network's Porta Potty Project has kept 34,900 gallons of untreated human waste out of the environment as of January 2022. 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.
