Toilet Construction Support Project

Our main objective is providing access to those who suffer from lack of proper sanitation and toilets. The Public Toilet Building Campaign targets developing countries designated by UN in which the majority of the population lacks access to toilet facilities. Working in collaboration with governments, NGOs, respective toilet associations, or companies, World Toilet Association plans, designs, and builds toilets in the selected countries. Toilet facilities tailored to the climates, culture, traditions and level of income of the target districts, are built in public places such as tourist attractions, schools, and parks. The primary goal is to build facilities that can be continuously used and maintained by community. Representative groups may submit proposals on behalf of countries in need. Proposals and guidelines are available on our website.

Nepal

 Organization Institution:Nepal Toilet Association
Completion Date: First half of 2010

In Nepal, only 46% of population has access to adequate potable water system and sanitary facilities and water supply is available only to 76% of them. Most of the Nepalese are concentrated in the capital city, Katmandu, but ethnic tribes still live in mountain areas and maintain their traditional closed life style. Although the exact sanitation status of these people is difficult to determine, it is assumed that their sanitation status is much inferior to that of urban area.

The Piple village where the WTA plans to build Public toilets has abundant water source compared with other areas but, because of difficulty of the local economy, investment for the necessary improvement of sanitation has been minimal. For this reason, the WTA will construct flushing toilets at Nepalese-Korean wisdom elementary school located in the middle of the village. The public restroom which has been used is outdated and practically abandoned. Accordingly, not enough toilets are available to meet the needs of its students. When a public toilet system is built in proportion to the gender ratio, it will contribute greatly to the sanitation improvement and education.

Besides, public toilets for multi-households will be also provided for the local residents. On average, one toilet unit will be provided for every three households and special facilities will be installed to convert the bio-gas generated from the toilets into kitchen fuel. Such toilet system will not only improve their sanitation status but also contribute to the strengthening local economy.
