Safe Water Strategy

Pit toilet sanitation design and improving salty water – Malawi

The Kasimu Education Fund, a US based 501c3 non-profit organization has been operating in Malawi for over five years to improve the education, economy and health of 5,000 villagers served by the Kasimu Elementary School. (see website kefmalawi.com)

We need assistance in two areas:

  1. Water from wells has a salty taste so villagers will drink contaminated river water. We need a method of removing salty taste from well water.

  2. The school complex depends upon latrines which are pit toilets. We need design criteria to construct new latrines which minimize the contamination of well water and the nearby river.
