December 2011

The public toilet in Teshie is now open! The operation is franchised to Jekora Ventures, a waste company in Accra. It is expected to service about 1,000 people per day and has both sitting (WC) and squat toilets. The public toilet also has a vending point for drinking water. With this public toilet we are able to test the management for high quality and stable services in order to provide value for money to the local customer. In addition we will test the quality of the fecal sludge for treatment and production of fertilizer and energy. The kiosk is attended by Vida (on the picture).

October 2011

The construction of the Teshie toilet block (20-seater) has been finished. Safi Sana Ghana Ltd signed a management contract with the local Jekora Ventures Ltd. In the first year Jekora and Safi Sana will test the Safi Sana management model and waste control. The local community will play an important role in assessing the success of this pilot. In the surrounding area of the block, including the beach side,  there is a grey water and solid waste pollution. Jekora Ventures, Safi Sana Ghana ltd and the local authorities (LeKMA) have joined forces to clean the area and develop a program to give the beach its original purpose, a recreative site for the local community.

Mar 292011

On 11th March we officially opened the pilot site in Ashaiman on which we are going to test the entire safi sana model: from toilet to waste treatment. On that day we also opened the small public toilet (2 seater) that is part of the test cycle that we are conducting. This toilet has been constructed for the purpose of testing alternative toilet technologies but also as a test case for the toilet operation and maintenance. The toilet will be used on a commercial basis to cover all the running cost. The toilets can be used by the local workers and the community. The facility will be operated by representatives of the Farmer Cooperative that is present in the area, the local community and Safi Sana. We expect about 60 visitors per day.

Last February we started the construction of the first Communal Service Block (CSB) in Teshie. At the site there were two aqua privy toilets (20 seater) in a bad state, one still operational and the other not. One of the two blocks will be demolished and transferred into a safi sana public toilet. The construction is executed by a local contractor with the help of workers from the community. We held an official ceremony with local representatives of the Assembly and the Community. Immediately after the ceremony the demolishing of the building started. We aim to have the toilet operational in July 2011. You can follow the developments of this toilet block at this blog.
