2 Peepoo Personal Self-Sanitising Single-Use Biodegradable Toilet

3 Peepoo is approriate solution especially for women and during floodings Bina Devi Bihar 2009

4 Easy to use, odourfree and requires no water. Mymensingh Bangladesh 2009

5 Clean Excreta Management GTZ Fieldtest Bangladesh: The design of the Peepoo offers a clean and hygienic way of excreta management, helping to cut the stigma normally connected with this service

6 Sanitized after 1 4 weeks In Emergency Sanitation Systems the main organisms to take into account are the ones that cause epidemics of diarrhoeal diseases. These are mainly connected to pathogenic bacteria such as salmonella and Vibrio cholera, but VECT, Shigella and campylobacts can also be considered in this. All these organisms are inactivated at a much faster rate than the Ascaris spp. Taking only the risk for epidemics into account the following times should be considered to assure not to spread the epidemic diseases from the Peepoo: 3 days at temp >30 C 1 week at temp >20 C 2 weeks at temp <20 C PhD Björn Vinnerås, Associate Professor Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences PhD thesis from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences on Ammonia Based Sanitisation of Human Excreta: GTZ Fieldtest Report Bangladesh:

9 Where they are needed the most Emergencies Refugee / IDP camps Urban slums Schools and Hospitals

10 Disease Prevention Safes Lives Diseases such as diarrhoea and malaria are a major cause of mortality and morbidity in humanitarian emergencies Diarrhoeal diseases alone contribute to between 25-50% of all deaths in camp situations. More than 80% of the deaths occur in children under 2 years. Preventing diarrhoeal infection by promoting hygienic practices should be priority number one in an emergency situation. Sources: Toole and Waldman, 1990, Oxfam. Photos: Cholera outbreak Haiti Associated Press, France 24.

11 Peepoo as Hygiene Promotion 250 g Peepoo, 250 g Soap* per Person and Month * Sphere Standards

12 Safe Excreta Disposal and Hand Washing Safe disposal of adults and children s excreta, and handwashing with soap after contact with faeces, are the two most important practices that are needed to promote, to prevent diarrhoeal infection in the initial emergency response. Sources: Unicef, WASH

25 Voices from Kibera Sasa niko na choo kwa nyumba, hakuna haja ya kwenda kwa choo chafu iliyojaa. Now I have a toilet at home. I don t have to be stressed going to a full toilet anymore. Mourine Anyango Hakuna choo kabisa kwenye plot, imenisaidia kwa. Mradi iendelei. We totally don t have toilets, it is a relief to us. The project should continue forever. Nelson Agos Kabla ya Peepoo kuletwa mtaani watu kwenya ploti walikuwa wakimwaga kenyezi karibu na nyumba ya mwenye ploti, lakini sasa imeisha kwa sababu ya Peepoo. Walifanya hivi ili mwenye manyumba hatengeneze choo. Since all are using the Peepoo the plot is clean. Before all poured or put the flying toilets next to the landlord to force him to build a toilet. Victoria Kamene

26 The Peepoo is the ideal system, the ideal product for the biggest problem facing the world. Prof. Eric O Odada Member of UNSGAB
