More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
The entire world needs a new innovative, hygienic and functional sanitation system that does not pollute the environment. It must satisfy the dignity of the users. It must require minimal operational and maintenance expenses. The traditional waterborne systems cannot meet this specification. Mankind can no longer afford the luxury of using drinking water to transport human body waste to a place of treatment.
Activities
The unit can be installed by the local population and maintained by the community. It does not use water or chemicals, and treats human waste with non-harmful bacteria. It gains power from the sun and the wind.
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $115

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Early research showed that sewage effluent pollutes the Earth’s groundwater supplies, rivers and lakes. I developed a sanitation system that does not use water and, if used correctly, does not contaminate the local water supply.
Project Message
“All men are created equal, some are just richer than others. Just because people are poor does not mean they lack dignity.”
