Federation trains "Community Mobilisers" in Blantyre

In a bid to upscale adoption of Ecosan toilets  an d increase access to water to the Urban poor in the City of Blantyre, the Federation in Malawi continues to train community members in Ecological sanitation toilets and loan application procedures for water connections.

The training, which started yesterday March 3, 2011 and closes today, is covering management of Ecosan toilets, sanitation and water loan application procedures and how users can effectively utilize manure and urine from the toilets in addition other areas.

Among the participants of the the training were Ecosan builders, Federation leaders and community members. Ecosan toilets have become a viable sanitation technology as they save space in the face of swelling urban population due to rapid urbanisation currently pegged at 5.22 percent and one of the highest in the world. The majority of the urban poor have no access to piped water.
