How to make a simple pit latrine and grow fruit trees!
30 Jun 08
Arborloo and Fossa Alterna are two ecological sanitation (EcoSan) technologies that recycle human excreta. These EcoSan options demonstrate that a family can build effective latrines with very little support from outside. The options create strong links between sanitation, agriculture and food production and actually work in practice. They can benefit the users beyond the requirement of providing a latrine alone.

Nsumba Twezimbe Salaam Women's Club
30 Jun 08
The Nsumba Twezimbe Salaam Women’s Club is a successful club that has promoted sanitation and hygiene among its members and the surrounding communities. They use an integrated family/community health promotion approach. This approach is being implemented to address income generation, hygiene and sanitation promotion, child immunization, improved food security, and prevention of HIV/AIDS, malaria and water- and sanitation-related diseases. This case is a useful practice for learning at district and sub-district level. It does need contextual analysis before applying it in specific communities.
