In India, most people defecate outdoors, most along roadsides, in or next to communal water supplies and in common areas, due to lack of toilets. This is the cause of many health problems, and also of discomfort for many women, who often have to wait until it gets dark before looking for a safe place to urine or defecate. We decided to work on reducing this problem by building community-operated toilet facilities. Please download the concept sheet (click here).
