"Money is not

“Poverty is created scarcity”
Wahu Kaara, point 8 of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty, 58th
annual NGO Conference, United Nations,
The people have generally no
private sanitation facilities.
Toilet structures (mostly in
the towns) are made by use of locally available materials such as bricks, wood
and stones. They mostly take the form of the VIP-ventilated improved pit
latrine. Urine and excreta are disposed in the same latrine. The cost of building
one of these VIP latrines is € 130 per latrine. People use leaves, papers and
water to clean their bottoms. There are no specific cultural taboos concerning
urine and excreta. Customs related to privacy have, however, to be observed at
all times. This means that one should not be seen disposing of waste.
Rural areas in the project
area in general lack proper latrines altogether.
