PROVIDING TOILETS

Good sanitation is a major problem in a rural environment.

There is no running water and so there are no flush toilets. What there is, for most of the older houses, is a compound surrounded by bushes that fulfils a purpose in regard to toilet facilities.

Good toilets are essential to good health which is essential to a positive future.

The standard toilet in Kabubbu is a ‘Pit Latrine’. This is a 36 foot deep hole dug in the ground on top of which sits a concrete slab with a hole in it. Over this is a small walled building to provide privacy. Modern pit latrines also have a vent built into them to carry away odours.

It is estimated that the average pit latrine will last for in excess of thirty years!

There are many old and not so old houses that require this additional sanitary feature and we are committed to providing this resource to further care for the carers health needs and of their families.
