Humanure Kenya

Composting toilets use the natural processes of decomposition and evaporation to recycle human waste. Wastes from these toilets, which are urine, feces and dry saw dust are put in a shade to allow evaporation and decomposition which are then used as natural fertilizer. When human waste is properly composted, the end product does not contain any pathogens or viruses. This nutrient-rich fertilizer can then be used on plants or around base of trees, as part of the natural cycling of nutrients, reducing the need for commercial fertilizers and preserving local water quality. Humanure toilets are inexpensive and very simple to build. They help reduce environmental and water pollution from untreated fecal material. The Humanure system is the simplest form of compost toilet, specifically designed to promote hot composting of human feces, urine and organic cover materials e.g sawdust, dry leaves, grass e.t.c.
