June 2011

After the start of the construction of a 20 seater in Teshie, we also started the construction of a 14 seater in Ashaiman. This CSB is located at the Aforiwa market in the north east corner of Ashaiman. The new CSB will replace the current EnvironLoo toilets. In the near future the market will be further developped with the construction of a shopping centre. The waste from this toilet will also be collected and transported to our treatment site for the purpose of biogas and fertilizer production. Church of Christ, one of our partners will be participating on the operation of the block.

 

March 2011

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.
