 Toilets That Make Compost:
Low-cost, sanitary toilets that produce valuable
compost for crops in an African context
Most of the rural population of Africa do not have access to safe and reliable
toilets. A good toilet, together with a safe reliable water supply and the
practice of good personal hygiene, can do much to improve personal and family
health and wellbeing. There is an urgent need for the construction of simple,
low-cost, affordable toilets that are easy to build and maintain and are
relatively free of odours and flies.
This book attempts to provide practical information which will allow those
living in rural, peri-urban and even some urban areas of Africa to build and
practice the art of recycling nutrients from their own excreta in order to gain
better crops and vegetables in their own back gardens. The work is primarily
intended for use in East and Southern Africa, where there is space, where
backyard gardening is practiced and where the climate is warm and wet seasons
are interspersed with dry. Included inside this book are detailed descriptions
of how to make a range of low-cost, sanitary toilets that also make compost.
