World Water Day: The Malawi Federation Way
World statistics on sanitation are scary and heart wrecking: 2.6 billion people are living without adequate sanitation. Yet this figure cannot tell what it means to live without proper sanitation. It cannot illustrate the plight of sub-Saharan women in face of no proper toilets. In Malawi the majority of the population uses pit latrines. However, open defecation in some areas is widespread. And when it comes to pit latrines, the sight of them is gusty.
Breaking the Taboo
These pictures are wonders of Eological 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 fecal matter harvested from Ecological sanitation toilets. Shit is fortune. Break the taboo.
Community Mobilisers
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.
