Mobile Dry Diversion Toilet Kenya
Kenya
After years of development, field tests, and the careful evaluation of the (female) users' feedback in low-income communities in Lagos, Nigeria, we felt ready to implement two test pilot MDDTs in Nairobi, Kenya. In late 2024, two women-led households were selected, now we’re looking in the more technical details, hence the local production of MDDT in Kenya.
MDDT is on purpose a household toilet, providing safety, security, comfort for the women, and their households during day and night. There is no longer a need of long, insecure, and unlit walks to unsafely managed community toilets, or the use of throwaway bottles or sacks (open defecation).
MDDT is easily to dismantle in the case of forced evictions or conflicts in land use or landownership.
The squatting pans are industrially manufactured (deep drawing technology) and are currently produced in Germany. However, the mold allows now for worldwide manufacturing (see project entry "Mobile Dry Diversion Toilet" on this website).
