1 Fiji Hub Achievement Report February 2015 Objective: WASH Composting toilet solutions completed at Navunisea District School GVI has constructed new hygiene and sanitation facilities at Navunisea District School to ensure that all children have access to safe, clean and functioning toilets throughout the school year. The state of the sanitation facilities has been a continuing issue at Navunisea Primary school with a lack of water pressure preventing toilets from flushing. Furthermore, a lack of toilet paper was causing students to use their text books as an alternative paper source resulting in the pipe blockage. This has resulted in a closure of the toilets throughout the year with no viable alternative. To ensure that the students have a safe and reliable sanitation facility, GVI designed and built a composting toilet; providing a sustainable, environmentally friendly alternative. One of the main benefits of using the composting toilets at Navunisea is that they do not rely on any water to function and therefore can be used throughout the year with very little maintenance required. This makes the project even more cost effective as no plumbing services are required. Once waste matter created by the new toilet is composted down it will be used on local crops surrounding the school, helping to improve soil nutrition.
