WaterAid Australia Publication on Hygiene Promotion
WaterAid Australia are presently seeking expressions of interest from organisations who would be interested in contributing a short project case study on hygiene promotion for inclusion in this publication. The publication will focus on the South-East Asia and Pacific region and is intended for a target audience of field workers and project managers who can learn from the case studies and project experiences. Case studies may include information about lessons learned, behaviour change techniques and project outcomes.

Dear Sanitation Updates:
I’m the producer of the documentary “The World’s Toilet Crisis” — which airs on Current TV this Wednesday.
It’s a documentary for all of us who use toilets and take them for granted !
But let’s not forget the 2.6 billion of us — 40% of the world’s population — who don’t use toilets and defecate anywhere we can — in streets, open fields, river banks and, most dangerously, in the very water we drink. As a result of open defecation, more than 2 million people — including 1.5 million children — die from complications of chronic diarrhea every year.
There’s no shortage of attention to the water crisis, but to be blunt, the real reason the water’s dirty is because there’s shit in the water.
So, on this week’s episode of Vanguard, we tackle the toilet crisis. We travel to India, Singapore and Indonesia to understand why people don’t use toilets and what’s being done to solve this silent (but deadly) epidemic.
Here’s the trailer:
http://current.com/shows/vanguard/92471289_how-to-solve-the-worlds-toilet-crisis.htm
“The World’s Toilet Crisis” airs on Current TV (http://current.com/vanguard) this Wednesday, June 9 at 10/9c (and at 10 p.m. pst).
Current TV channels by cable provider:
Time Warner (103 or 142)
Comcast (107 or 125)
Direct TV (358)
Verizon FiOS (192)
Dish (196)
You can also catch it the following day on Hulu — http://hulu.com/vanguard
Or, download it from iTunes — http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/vanguard/id290804690
If you watch it, I’d recommend NOT sitting down in front of the tube with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a warm glass of milk. Actually, I’d suggest not eating while watching (period).
Thank you.
All the best,
Lisa Biagiotti

in my area there are schools with no source of power but have the pit latrines. Knowing that this can be used to generate power i am interested in knowing how this is done.
Search for information on biogas latrines. A good place to start is Practical Actions technical brief “Using Biogas Technology to Solve Pit Latrine Waste Disposal“
