As 3S Shramik, we feel that slum sanitation does not only mean providing toilets where there is scarcity of facilities , rampant cases of open defecation or even in the maintenance of existing toilets through providing cleaning services but in achieving total sanitation in all areas of the lives of the people living in slums or informal settlements.Time and time again we insist that education is an important tool that should be used hand in hand with any intervention being done throughout the…See More

A blog post by Rajeev Kher was featuredShift in handling community/shared toilets in slums
One of the most common problems that we have encountered in most slums/ informal settlements that, we visited, is the lack of adequate space available. This greatly hinders putting up of new infrastructure such as individual toilets because there is simply not enough room for them.That has led to the construction of community toilets by the government. Water and electricity is free at these toilets. But the challenge remains in maintenance of the toilets. The foremost cause is that in most…See More

Caroline Ashley, Editor commented on Rajeev Kher's blog post Importance of Data tracking in Project Monitorization"Hi Rajeev
THanks for sharing this important point about how data helps. I was wondering if the data only flows from the operational level up to management or if some of the findings also flow down to the operators and users as well? I…"
