Sanitation

Human Concerns always does an international outreach for Lent - through the Lenten House at the church entrance. This year we are teaming up with Catholic Relief Services, with their ArborLoo latrine project.
The ArborLoo is a simple toilet costing between $5 and $8, that households can construct on their own. It is one of several components of ecological sanitation (Ecosan) - a revolutionary approach that views human excreta as resources to be utilized, rather than as wastes to be avoided. Consisting of a shallow pit and a simple privacy structure, the ArborLoo has become popular, in part, because the design suits various cultures.
There is the Lenten House at the church entrance for your contribution, along with information about the program. How many latrines can we buy? If you have any questions, please contact Linda at 284-7288 or linda.gottlieb@sbcglobal.net. Thank you!
