Tuff Toilet VIP toilet is specifically designed
for large-scale distribution in humanitarian emergencies. |
|
Available in
'pedestal' and 'squat' cultural options.
|
|
Tuff Toilet is designed by company owner and
mechanical engineer Jonathon Clarke. Jonathon worked for MSF
and ICRC in the 1990s, in Liberia, Ivory Coast, Rwanda, Kenya,
Sudan, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, Georgia/Abkhazia, Albania &
Kosovo. |
|
"I designed the Tuff Toilet because I could see
a need for a VIP latrine system that could be stacked for
transporting, and then easily deployed in large scale
emergencies." |
|
"Most places I worked we had trouble finding
materials for concrete slabs, so that problem is taken care
of." |
|
"It has an in-built vent pipe socket and fly
trap, so is exactly what you need for large displaced camps
with potential public health issues, and is also a good
solution for development programs". |

Baltazar and Solon (1989) found that the unsanitary disposal of
children's faeces was associated with a 34% increase in clinical
diarrhoea and a 64% increase in pathogen positive diarrhoea |
|
|
In
temperate conditions (or warmer) most pathogenic bacteria are
destroyed within 3-4 months (Winblad and Simpson-Hebert, 2004) |
