What is this presentation about?
The sanitation project at St. Mark Kikandwa Primary School in Uganda was implemented by Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e. V. in collaboration with the local NGO SUUBI Community Projects. The goal was to improve the inadequate sanitation facilities for the approximately 700 students and to create a sustainable solution for the school’s daily operations.
The core of the project was the construction of urine-diverting dry toilets that operate without water, are hygienically safe, and whose waste products can be used as fertilizer after appropriate treatment. The technology allows for cost-effective operation and can be maintained by the school community itself.
A total of 19 restroom stalls and four washrooms were constructed in two phases. Despite pandemic-related restrictions, the project was successfully completed through close collaboration, regular communication, and targeted training.
The project was carried out in collaboration between the local organization SUUBI Community Projects and Ingenieure Ohne Grenzen.
