Re: Funding offer for dry toilet project
Respected Sir,
Wishes from Association for Social Solidarity and Empowerment Training Trust (ASSET)
We happy to apply and funding for dry toilet project and herewith submit our detail project to your concern, kindly consider our project.
Project Proposal for Improving Water Supply, Promoting Personal Hygiene Practices, and introduction of ECOSAN toilets in Sedapatti block of Madurai district of Tamil Nadu, in India
ORGANIZATION DETAILS:
ASSET Trust is a registered, Non – Profit, Social development, Voluntary organization working in the year 2011, deserving people especially vulnerable section of people living at very remote areas of Sedapatti, Usilampatti and Chellampatti block level in Madurai District, Tamil Nadu, where there are no services are reaching out, Now we work to promote Health, Education, Economic & Environment concepts through participatory women forum, and collaborating with Nationalized banks, and Tamil Nadu Govt. women development corporation for technical and Financial assistance as viable to our target. K. Amirthalingam is the Managing Trustee of ASSET TRUST. ASSET TRUST has good rapport with target beneficiaries, stakeholders, community leaders, government officials, donor agencies, social organizations, educational institutions and like minded NGOs.
Goal of the Project
Empowering the people’s organizations to achieve sustainable improvements in their quality of life by improved potable water supply, sanitation and associated health and hygiene practices.
Rationale
The World Health Organization [WHO] estimates that over 80% of the diseases occur due to water-born diseases and poor maintenance of sanitation. Water and sanitation related diseases include all types of diarrhea, dysentery, typhoid, hepatitis, polio, skin and eye infections and other mosquito born infections they are most frequently transmitted by poor hygiene. Poor environmental condition arising from unhygienic disposal of fasces, silage and other solid waste contribute to the spread of diseases. They lead to contamination of food, water either at source or in home. They may encourage breeding of insect’s further increase in the spread of diseases. Based on these aspects, ASSET Trust conducted a situational assessment study for promoting Water and Sanitation (WATSAN) program. All the inhabitants of the villages surrounding Sedapatti fall in the category of vulnerable and needed to be addressed the above-mentioned problems observe in this village through a comprehensive WATSAN Program with appropriate behavior change communication with an active participation of the local communities.
Target group and their present situation
The targeted people for the Project are mostly belonging to scheduled community and neo-literates and basically, landless labor. Their poverty condition is getting down due to frequently affected by water born diseases and diseases caused by unhygienic practices (Fecal – oral diseases). The expenses for treatment and time taken made them more dept and borrow money from moneylenders for higher rate of interest to meet these expenses. The efforts taken by Government and NGOs for their livelihood could not achieve the objectives due to heavy expenses on treatment sides. Unhygienic village environmental issues must be addressed with community based comprehensive water and sanitation programs with people’s participation. Intensive hygiene education would create such demands among them instead of creating only hardware’s components and force them to use. This will not serve the purpose of the attempt. Women of the village have already been organized as self help groups by different organizations for livelihood and micro credit programs. Life saving messages and educations on safe practices has not yet reached out. All use to go for open defecation in near by fields and roadsides in the rainy season and feces are not safely disposed and but exposed to flies and pets and domestic animals, which cause diseases. There are more number of diarrhea cases reported in rainy days and flood periods. There are no hygienic practices among them such as hand washing after defecation, proper drinking water handling, hand washing before food, disposal of children faces etc.
Observation
The fruits, vegetables and green grown in the area of defecation getting in contact with faces lying very close.These flies sit on the exposed food items, water and
Flies sitting on the mouth especially children.Foods are not covered.No hand washing practice after defecation and after handling child faces with cleaning agent.Unsafe water source for collecting water for drinking and cooking and storing and handling it hygienically.No clean containers and safe handling Children are with dirty nails.
Reason for the selection of the Water and Sanitation (WATSAN) Project: The village community lacks the most important education on using Toilets as open defecation is evident. Particularly the SC communities deserve this Project as they are normally neglected from mainstream development. Schedule Caste People are mainly living in depressed and neglected conditions. They have poor access to water and sanitation facilities of hygienic education and awareness. In order to address their needs and facilitate hygienic living, this project has been selected.

Hello
I cannot send you an english version of the attachment as it is the cover of the book and there is not an english version of the book.
This funding is also applicable for India and any country in the world.
When I will have all the demands, I will look at each one and will select one or several of them.
As I said in my announcement, if you are interested, it is better to write to me directly on my personnal email

Re: Funding offer for dry toilet project
Salut Chris.
Je suis particulièrement touché dans un prémier temps par ton travail sur le financement des toilettes sèches par la vente de ton livre. Félicitation pour ton livre et je prie que ça se vente continuellement. Félicitation aussi pour la demarche de Finacement.
Je suis un Urbaniste basé à Yaoundé au Cameroun et je pense que je projet est très interessant pour les pays pauvres comme le notre.
Beaucoup de courage.

Courage.

Bonjour Ben et merci pour ces commentaires sur le "Petit coin".
C'est évidemment une satisfaction pour moi de voir que les informations données accrochent les lecteurs et participent, je l'espère, à faire avancer la question des toilettes. J'éprouve aussi une réelle joie à ce que les bénéfices qui sont dégagés par la vente de ce livre puissent financer des installations pour celles et ceux qui en sont dépourvus, plutôt que de venir remplir mon compte en banque.
Quant à une version anglaise, cela avait été envisagé il y a quelques années mais cette idée a été finalement abandonnée car il y a déjà de bons ouvrages dans cette langue mais aussi par ce que si je considère que globalement ce que j'ai écrit reste pertinent, il y aurait certains passages à réactualiser, ce que je n'envisage pas car trop occupé par ailleurs.
Bien cordialement
Christophe

This is obviously a satisfaction for me to see that the information interests the readers, and participates, I hope, to advance the toilet issue. I also feel a real joy that the profits that are generated from the sale of this book can finance facilities for those who are deprived, rather than fill my bank account.
As for an English version, it was envisaged there a few years ago but this idea was eventually dropped because there are already good books in that language but also that if I consider that overall what I wrote remains relevant, there would be some passages to update, which I do not plan, as am too busy elsewhere.

Cher Chris,
Je souhaitais te répondre pour tout d’abord saluer la qualité ton ouvrage qui est sur ma table de nuit depuis et qui y restera probablement très longtemps. Ta démarche de financement des toilettes sèches par la vente du livre est tout à ton honneur et je pense qu’elle pourrait créer un sujet à part entière sur ce forum car il est très souvent question de financement. Nous avions les bailleurs publics, les multinationales, les fondations, les philanthropes, le spectre des financements de projet Ecosan est ainsi élargie aux production culturelles (je ne sais pas si la dénomination est la bonne). Beaucoup de programmes ont déjà utilisés des acteurs ou chanteurs connus pour faire de la promotion à l’hygiène mais à ma connaissance dans le monde de l’Ecosan aucun projet n’a été financé par la vente d’un livre.
Merci de nous ouvrir cette voie qui je l’espère fera des petits.
Question subsidiaire : Je suis persuadé qu’une version anglaise du livre de grande qualité ferait des émules, tout au moins sur ce forum ! est-ce déjà prévu ?
En te souhaitant une excellente journée, au plaisir de pouvoir partager avec toi sur ce forum.
Ben

Dear Chris,
I wanted to answer you, first of all to salute the high quality of your book, which stayed on my night table since I purchased it. Your Ecosan financing scheme through the selling of your book is very very interesting, I really think this could be a proper subject on this forum ! Financing is a question most of us think about constantly, we had public funders, foundations, philanthropists, multinationals and now you bring financing of Ecosan project through cultural and educative production. Many programs have used famous singer or actor for their hygiene promotion campaigns but so far I never heard an ecosan project financed through the money made out of sales of a book.
Thanks for opening this great door which I hope will be replicated somehow.
Another question : I’m pretty sure an English version of your book would interest a lot of people, especially in this forum, is it planned ?
Wishing you a great day, I’m very pleased to be able to chat with you on this forum.
Ben

If you are planning to build a dry toilet / compost toilet, you can apply to Editions Eauphilane for financial support, and they will consider your request. The profits from the sale of Christophe Elain’s book "A small corner to relieve the planet" (neither the publisher nor the author receive any money from the sale of this book) help pay for the construction of dry toilets. The sale of the first 10,000 copies has funded toilets in Roma camps in France, as well as the construction of toilets in Rwanda, Bangladesh, the Philippines and Nicaragua.
