At the Teza Gerba School in Southeast Ethiopia, an outhouse structure did exist, but it consisted of open weave branches not conducive to privacy or protection from the elements. With Roots Ethiopia working with over two dozen schools, Walsh says, "I don't think we would have accomplished this without Jonah." In 2019, Jonah started a GoFundMe to help Roots Ethiopia construct the Jonah’s Hands Library and Jonah’s Hands-on Science Lab at Teza Gerba School. Jonah barely took a breath before reaching out for donations to construct 75 desks for Teza Gerba School, which had three classrooms unfurnished. Next up, Jonah is working to fund girls and boys soccer programs at Teza Gerba School, including equipment, shoes and uniforms, "so they can simply play."
