We’ve Moved In!

There's been lots of progress lately at Twegashe School. The classrooms have been painted, two teacher houses are nearly finished, and the microflush biofil composting toilets are working well. The kindergartners are very happy to be in their new home!

Going Up!

Our construction team is making good progress. The walls are more than half-way up, they've constructed a water storage tank, and have also begun work on the biofil toilets for the school.

We've been researching many different types of toilets looking for a safe, economical, culturally appropriate, and environmentally friendly design. We're pleased to report that we think we've found an answer: the microflush biofil toilet.
