A basic introduction to appropriate latrine building which covers the design and construction of different types of latrines; and discusses some of the common problems that can occur in the building stage. It covers all aspects of the implementation of a latrine building programme.Every ten seconds a child dies from diarrhoea. This makes 3 million children every year, or over 8000 children per day. These figures are only counting the deaths. How many children are disabled for life by parasitic infections and frequent diarrhoea in their early years? How many women live with permanent anaemia because of hookworm infections? This book provides a practical solution to the lack of basic facilities and sanitation that so many people face in the world today, by giving advice and information on how to set up and implement a latrine building programme, and providing guidelines on how to build latrines that are easily maintained, affordable and appropriate to the needs of the communities who will be using them. The book gives a basic introduction to appropriate latrine building, and covers the design and construction of different types of latrines, discussing some of the common problems that can occur in the building stage. It covers all aspects of the implementation of a latrine building programme, including the promoting of hygiene and the education aspects of such a programme, and how to go about planning, monitoring and evaluating such a programme. The latrine designs described here can be built using local materials, and involve peoples traditional skills and innovations. |
