ECOSAN toilet construction

The goal of the project is to construct 107 Ecosan toilets in 107 households in rural, coastal Orissa with an outreach of 799 men, women and children. Secondly, to ensure that people are motivated towards ECOSAN technology in the wake of decreasing water sources. Thirdly, to improve environmental sanitation, personal hygiene and health standards of the intervened communities.

ECOSAN toilets can be build from the hollow bricks with better quality than the kiln brick hence the structure will have longevity. This will ensure that people are happy with their household asset and ensure to take care of the careful cleaning.

Secondly, the Village Water and Sanitation Committee (VWSC) that is constituted will address the community unity and governance issues. The VWSC will have 15 members of which 4 needs to be women, representatives from backward communities and village level representatives of local self governance bodies.

Thirdly, BISWA in collaboration with the donor agency will establish 2 model villages with 100% coverage of ECOSAN toilets hence the families will not have any antagony or disagreement between them. The initial phase is devoted towards creation of community bonding for undertaking sanitation programme.
