The SAFI latrine minimizes this risk.</font>|}SNV has produced the affordable SAFI (Kiswahili for ‘clean’) latrine for both urban and rural families with the help of a design from VETA, Vocational Educational and Training Authority, in Mwanza, Tanzania. ===SAFI meets needs===SNV surveyed rural households, suppliers, and policy makers in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania across 10 rural districts to determine the following eight criteria desired in a latrine.  1. Durability – permanent structure that can survive the rainy season <br>2. Affordable <br>3. Safety – 90% of latrines are pit latrines which are prone to collapse <br>4. Easy to clean <br>5. Not be smelly <br>6. Have a pan that doesn't spill <br>7. Provide women with a place to bathe in privacy <br>8. Attractive <br> SAFI latrine has two designs: <br>• one for wet regions and <br>• one for more arid regions. <br> The SAFI meets durability and safety desires by covering the pit with a wire-mesh-and-concrete slab and provides a private place for bathing. A ventilation system and pan cover that is removable with one foot prevents insects from entering the toilet and minimizes smell.  ===Implementation===The SAFI is being used in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Zambia. ===Costs===Cost is reported as low as USD 70 purchased and installed.  ===Acknowledgements===* [http://www.usafi-kenyahaagsblauw.comnl/klanten/siteSNV_Connect_2015/index.php?pagehtml#p=galleries&type=image&id=safi-latrines usafi-kenya20 Building a Better Toilet], [http://www.snvworld.com]]org/ SNV].
