There
are no sewers in Haiti. 26% of Haitians have access to a toilet, so a
lot of the sewage ends up in the water supply. Currently, Haiti is
battling the biggest cholera epidemic in recent history and thousands
are dying. We travel there to meet a team of women who are trying to
solve this massive problem. They have set up an NGO called Soil which
delivers dry, compost toilets to peoples’ homes. Alternatives to water
guzzling flushing toilets - which need infrastructure such as sewers -
are drastically needed in many parts of the world. And there’s a bonus
to this scheme too.
