Laxmanpura community managed community toiletSK Singh
The document summarizes a community-managed toilet initiative in Laxmanpura slum, Gwalior, India. It was a joint initiative between UN Habitat, Gwalior Municipal Corporation, WaterAid and Sambhav. The slum had poor sanitation with many residents practicing open defecation. The initiative involved awareness campaigns, building household and school toilets, and constructing a community toilet managed by community organizations. As a result, the slum became open defecation free and the model is being replicated in other areas. The community participation and ownership has led to improved sanitation facilities and health outcomes in the slum.
Journeys for Water: Survival Strategies for Urban IndiaJan Chipchase
The document summarizes research conducted by frog researchers in India to understand how urban slum dwellers access and use drinking water. The researchers traveled from Ahmedabad to Delhi, visiting slums and interviewing residents. They found that while water is abundant, the supply is rarely clean and reliable. Slum residents struggle daily to obtain the water they need. The researchers hope their findings will help solutions like Sarvajal's "water ATM" model expand access to clean drinking water for slum communities.
A short design research study to support Sarvajal - a project that is bringing clean drinking water to urban India through the use of a novel water ATM.
The document discusses how portable restrooms save water resources and improve productivity, health, and living standards. It notes that portable restrooms save 125 million gallons of water daily worldwide by providing sanitation instead of flushing toilets. This amounts to over 45 billion gallons saved annually. Portable restrooms also protect water sources from contamination, save fuel by reducing travel to facilities, and increase productivity by keeping workers on-site.
Solar power's impact on rural exodus June 02 2014Sunipod Solar
Rural populations are migrating to cities in search of opportunities, putting pressure on urban infrastructure. Solar power can help reverse this trend by powering rural villages and improving quality of life through access to education, healthcare, jobs, and agriculture. Solar microgrids allow powering remote villages easily using available land. This can reduce rural-urban migration by bringing dignity and better standards of living back to villages through lighting, education tools, medical clinics, local industries like mills, and boosting crop yields with water pumps. The key is utilizing solar energy's potential to decentralize development opportunities.

The Ghana Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Project is a four-year USAID initiative implemented by three organizations to improve access to water, sanitation, and hygiene in over 200 rural communities in Ghana. The project seeks to support national goals like increasing access to safe water and sanitation by 2015. It provides water and sanitation facilities, trains local artisans, and promotes behavior change through education to ensure proper management of facilities and hygiene practices. Through partnerships with organizations, the private sector, and communities, the project builds local capacity and management to sustain its efforts.
Open defecation is a major public health issue in rural India, with over 638 million people lacking access to toilets. This poses risks for many infectious diseases. While government campaigns have increased toilet access, behavioral change is still needed. Socio-cultural beliefs and the view of toilets as only for the wealthy prevent many from using existing facilities. Communication objectives aim to increase awareness of health risks, promote dignity and generate demand for sanitation through community outreach. Priority routes focus on women's issues and health hazards to motivate behavior change.

The document discusses the global water crisis, highlighting that over a billion people lack access to safe water and more than two billion lack adequate sanitation. It notes that a child dies every 15 seconds from a water-borne disease and children miss over 400 million school days per year due to water-contaminated illnesses. The document calls for commitment to provide clean, safe drinking water and sanitation for all, and emphasizes that donations can help fund water projects to rescue families and save children around the world.
The document discusses sanitation and open defecation in India. It notes that over half of Indians practice open defecation, especially in rural areas where the rate is about 70%. This can spread diseases and cause health issues. The government has implemented various schemes since the 1950s to promote toilet use and eradicate open defecation, but challenges remain in changing behaviors and maintaining sanitation infrastructure. Proper sanitation across India would require building over 1.3 billion toilets at an estimated cost of over 1,300 billion rupees.

Wastewater treatment: Forget the environment, it's about public healthBrian Gongol
Brian Gongol argues that those in the wastewater treatment industry should frame their work as being in the public health business rather than the environmental business. He asserts that focusing on public health better captures the true mission of protecting citizens and will resonate more with the public and decision makers who fund infrastructure. Gongol also outlines threats facing the industry like complacency, cheap alternatives, and declining rural populations, and suggests strategies like reframing plant names and directly communicating the importance of the work to citizens.
Forget the environment -- you're in the public-health businessBrian Gongol
Wastewater treatment gets no respect in America, and the biggest problem is that we keep on treating it as a matter for the environment. It's not. The only thing that matters is public health.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Our backs are like superheroes, holding us up and helping us move around. But sometimes, even superheroes can get hurt. That’s where slip discs come in.

1. What is the best
medical advancement
in the past 200 years
?
Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. Here’s a question for all of you: What
has been the best medical advancement in the past 200 years? Anyone?
2. ‘The Toilet’
- The British Medical Journal
Thats right. According to the British Medical
Journal it’s the Flushed Toilet, beating the pill and
anaesthesia. This means that the toilet is a very
big deal, a basic amenity.
3. *Poop*
Sh*t
Faeces.
They all mean the same thing. A thing that we have to do every single day. It’s the very reason we have
toilets in the first place. Over the years, decades, countries have realised the importance of toilets.
4. Where is India?
626 million people have NO toilets
= HALF our Population
18% of Urban India 69% of Rural India
6. What’s the harm?
But then if its so common why are we making such a big deal about it?
7. *Poop* =
50 diseases
100 Worm Eggs
1,000 Parasite Cysts
1 Million Bacteria
10 Million Viruses
1 gram of
There are about 50 communicable diseases in one gram of poop, and if it isn’t disposed of properly, if you don’t
wash your hands properly, it could be travelling with you.
8. Every year contact with human faeces kills
600,000 children in India
1.4 Million globally
Every 20 secs,
1 Child dies.
9. Most rape cases in Bihar
occur during the time when
women go out in the open
to defecate.
Women get sexually assaulted out in the open.
10. Only 18% of Government
Schools in India have
separate toilets for girls.
Girls stop going to school once they start menstruating because schools don’t have proper toilets and it just gets too
much to bare.
11. NO Toilet
NO Privacy. Indignity.
It is a breach of privacy. There is indignity. And there are infections, diseases and death.
13. Why Should YOU Care?
But really why should you care? You’re all privileged enough to have toilets at home, why is this your problem?
Thing is, it does affect you. How many of you have house help? How many of you have house help coming from
the slums. I do. Do you know whether they’ve got toilets? The people who’re coming to clean your house or cook
for you, might be carrying these germs. How many of you have children? Do they ever play outside in the mud?
Of course they do, they’re children. But this can make them victims too.
14. Malnutrition. Stunted mental
and physical development.
Lower productivity.
It has been proven that the height of Indian children is correlated to their neighbourhoods access to toilets. The African Continent is
poorer than India on an average, but they have taller children because they have less open defecation. Thats right, it causes stunting.
15. Economic loss to India due to
poor sanitation: 2,70,000
crores per year
Infact, open defecation is affecting the entire country, its tourism, its economy.
28. More
ProblemsWe started off thinking that everything was black and white. But on talking to the villagers
and slum dwellers, we realised that there were other problems too. A whole lot of grey.
29. Colony Number 5
WaterAndMaintenance
Most areas did have communal toilets but this is how they got. In colony number 5, they had the
state provided facilities but they were badly maintained and just not usable. Tap water wasn’t being
supplied and no one was bothered.

32. In Manimajara colony, things were better because Sulabh was providing them with cleaner loos but at a price which
the corrupt money collector had twisted around. People gathered to be heard and we were able to bring about a
card system for them.

36. Problems
Lack of water
and poor
maintenance
Lack of
money&
resources
Lack of
awareness
Our main goal is to tackle the 3 issues on the list, but the last one, water, was extremely hard.
37. But we needed a solution that would not
only be just a toilet but a system that
interlinks itself with that what is lacking to
create an ideal win win situation. That’s
when we came across DRDOs design.
More than just a toilet.
38. DRDO’sTheDefenseResearchandDevelopmentOrganization
Bio-Loo
It requires minimum water, less space and little maintenance gives out no odor and
converts poop into usable bio gas and water. This meant that we could have more
water and more usable, productive, toilets at the same time. It is a miraculous
innovation, one that can create a sustainable energy and water system all by itself.

40. Getting this installed was an exciting proposition and so when we came across village Tirha on the outskirts of Chandigarh, a backward section
where the villagers had to cross their fields to defecate every single day, we really wanted to help them and we knew how.

43. We have been able to get a toilet with four compartments constructed in the village. It is functioning fine
thought the biogas unit is not working yet. It’ll help around 60 lives. It’s a small step towards the 626 million
but it is something.
