Sanitation and Hygiene Facilities
Helping to close the circle on safety, dignity, and good health.
3.6 Billion People Do Not Have Access to Basic Improved Sanitation
Everyone Should Have a Safe Place To "Go"
Starting with clean water, Drink Local Drink Tap realized the need for full-circle WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) solutions. Communities can thrive once these basic needs are met. Drink Local Drink Tap builds VIP (ventilated improved pit) latrines, with bathing facilities and handwashing facilities. The pits can be emptied by a sanitation truck with community savings every 5 to 8 years. We predominately work in school-based settings, but also in settlements and villages.
Problems we are impacting:
- 3.6 Billion people don’t have access to basic improved sanitation
- Attacks on women and girls
- Loss of Life
- Dignity and safety
- Community health
- Health issues such as ulcers
- School attendance and more equal schooling for girls
