This is Mwaniki in Nairobi,Kenya.We publish a free magazine viz.the 'Africa Water,Sanitation & Hygiene' and after going through your paper 'The Economic and Social Benefits and the Barriers...' I found it to be very well researched,comprehensive and informative with discussion on Africa at the outset.Am sure your work (but must be abridged) will be of special interest to our audience as you may understand it's a big challenge to access sanitation and hygiene more so in the third world as it requires a lot of partnerships and consultative approach with partners and stakeholders.

Am kindly requesting you to contribute the abridged version of this particular paper for our readers in the oncoming edition that is the Jan-Feb 2013 issue on gratis.We will acknowledge the source and carry the byline.

Please find a short profile of the publication enclosed in the attachment.

Sincerely

Mwaniki]]> Inclusive sanitation (people with disabilities) Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:28:34 +0000 http://forum.susana.org/forum/categories/93-inclusive-sanitation-people-with-disabilities/3059-three-publications-on-the-topic#3059 http://forum.susana.org/forum/categories/93-inclusive-sanitation-people-with-disabilities/3059-three-publications-on-the-topic#3059 I am new to this group. I am an Associate Professor within Community Health Sciences, Stream Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies, University of Calgary, Canada.
Among others I cover climate change, energy and water and sanitation issues related to disabled people and I analyse climate change, energy and water and sanitation discourses through an ableism lens.

May be all known stuff for this group? If yes I apologize.

Just to confirm what Elisabeth mentioned above, please go ahead and use my photos. If you require further information about the pictures, please contact me once more.

Doreen might have missed seeing your question but I know her well and know that she would be happy for you to use her photos for your work. So please go ahead.

We have also collected more photos on the topic "sanitation and disability" here (showing good and bad (non-accessible) examples):
www.flickr.com/photos/gtzecosan/collections/72157626218080958/

If anyone has more photos to contribute to this collection, please e-mail us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Here an example for a bad design (inaccessible: for UDDTs often the stairs are too steep; when there are ramps, they are often too steep and often have no landing at the top):

Good example (also a UDDT but "sunk installation"):

See more in the flickr sets themselves (click on the link above that comes with the photos).

I have seen you message indeed the communities should come out to assist the older and young who can squat on toilets to have decent toilets. I have also liked your pictures in the message can you kindly allow me to use them on our website and in East Africa Public Toilets Guide published by organisation for East Africa. We are also putting up a serous campaign towards having public toilets in the region that can be used by PWDs, the older people and kids. I will be grateful to Doreen if she allows me to use her photos.

This week I had the opportunity to visit my relatives home in Shimba hills here in Kenya and one of the first things that I went to do was to inspect her toilet.

I haven’t been to the rural home for quite a long time. It is a traditional pit latrine.I was pleasantly surprised to see that she has improvised her pit latrine by mounting a toilet seat so that she can be able to seat instead of squat as she can’t squat anymore.



What other interesting ways have you also seen to make traditional pit latrines and VIPs accessible to the elderly, children and people with disabilities?

Now as much as it looks somewhat decent in the picture, there were still quite a number of flies and the smell was quite strong (lack of a vent pipe). There was no light at night so we had to use a lamp or a torch. This is a relatively new toilet, the last one filled up.They abandoned it, removed the superstructure and constructed another one. My relative lives almost 2 hours away from the next town and there are no exhausters or manual pit emptiers in the area (Infact she has never heard of manual pit emptiers and was shocked when I told her how they carry out the collection). Below is the superstructure. It is quite a distance from her house which is also very common here.



Once a toilet fills up in Shimba Hills, they disown it and build another one.

Best regards
