SABA: - Janice Massiah, who is bound to a wheelchair, is extremely happy with her new bathroom which is fully adapted to her situation. “This is my palace. I feel so good,” she said during the visit of Commissioner Rolando Wilson, Head of the Planning Bureau Boddy Zagers, and Eviton Heyliger of the Own Your Own Home Foundation (OYOHF) on Friday, January 29.
Janice, a nurse by profession, had no suitable bathroom in her house in St. John’s. Her urgent situation made her a good candidate for the pilot project funded by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor (SZW) and Public Health, Wellbeing and Sport (VWS) as part of the larger endeavor to implement the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on Saba. The OYOHF contributed to the pilot project, while the Planning Bureau supervised the project.
