Breaking the Taboo

Written by Administrator

Made From HumanureThese pictures are wonders of Ecological sanitation toilets.The healthy crops you see don't  get their nutrients from  artificial fertilizers from factories or the compost manure made from kitchen waste. They feed on humanure decayed faecal matter harvested from Ecological sanitation toilets. Shit is fortune. Break the taboo.

The market cost of artificial fertilizers is not affordable to the bulk of the poor Malawians. The Government of Malawi introduced the Fertilizer subsidy programme to ensure that most of the poor Malawians have access  to the commodity. Poor people get coupons to use when buying the fertilizers. Sadly not all poor people can access the commodity. And this subsidy programme will not be there forever. But there is something that can last forever and is available to everyone: Manure from Ecosan toilets.

The Malawi Homeless People's Federation advocates for improved sanitation through adoption of sustainable technologies and community-driven initiatives .
