Hello Andreas,

I work for Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) and I serve in a Department known as Sustainable Materials Research and Technology Centre (SMARTEC). Eco-toilet may be of interest to us. Please let me know how we can collaborate.

Hi Tofayel,
Have you prepared now to start in India ? I am waiting for your feedback.

Regards,

Dear Wambuak,

where do you stay in kenya? I am going to start off two Ecosan projects until end of year in Kiminini (Trans Nzoia) and Chwele (Bungoma). If you are around we could exchange some knowledge. For any questions on the topic, however, it is very useful to start reading the technical review on UDDT provided on the susana platform.



Regards,

Andreas

Tofayel, do you have a published paper that I can read to understand the science behind the Ecosan Toilet? How much water does the toilet require? What is the average cost of construction?

Hi Wambuak,
Thanks for your interest. We are promoting double chambers UDDT for the household of 6-8 members. Substructure is completely brick made and watertight but superstructure can be made by brick or local materials. It is constructed upper ground at homestead level. Please have a look on the photo as attached herewith.

Hi,

What do the econ-san toilets look like. I am interested.

Hi Sampark,
Thank you for prompt response. But I am sorry to say that at this moment India is beyond our activity area. But please keep in touch, I may share the result of this project in future.

Thanks

Tofayel

Dear Tofayel,
My trust is working in Odisha, India. So, India is not covered under this programme ?

Hi Sampark,
Thank you for your interest. I can not recognize in which place you want to have? But according to current project design every thing has been finalized for Bangladesh. Could you please tell me your location for further information.

Thanks
Tofayel

Dear Mr. Shahidul,
Thank you for your interest. I would like to share that JADE is working in Bangladesh since 2004 with the initiation of EcoSan toilet as the first time. By this time we have expanded it in different areas of Bangladesh and many other organizations also already come forward to expand it. All of our observation is, as a technology EcoSan toilet is sound one in Bangladesh perspective but its construction cost is comparatively higher than mostly used conventional toilet. Previously subsidy was given from the project but it is not a solution for wider aspect and it is not sustainable approach. So, we have started construction through business model. As we have just started, please let us see the result. So, I hope to share you the result and process in time as appropriate.

Thanks

Tofayel

Dear Florian,
Thank you for your interest. But we have just started. I hope to share you the process and result in time as appropriate.

Dear Tofayel,
It is good to know about JADE for construction of business model toilet in Bangladesh.Is their any possibility to expand this activity to other countries ? I am interested to have it in my place. So, please give your feedback.
