Dear All,

The Pit-emptying challenge took place on 24th March at the 9th World Water Forum in Dakar, Senegal . The challenge brings together pit-emptiers from different countries to simulate the pit-emptying process.

The aim of the challenge is to inspire professionals to demonstrate their skills and show the limitations and requirements of their daily work life to sector stakeholders. The challenge is not only of notable educational value in raising awareness of safe, effective and efficient pit emptying practices, it also aims to elevate the profile and visibility of the pit latrine emptying profession by actively demonstrating the importance and value of the work as essential for maintaining healthy living environments. This in turn aims to instil a sense of recognition, motivation and empowerment in competitors and underline the need for more qualified professionals in the field.

See you at this important event and see which country team picks the prize.
