Changes

Two rural schools in Apulo municipality, Cundimarca, Colombia were equipped with UDDTs, which solved there the lack of the toilet facilities. The project was funded and carried out by Health and Environment Institute of El Bosque University in Bogotá. The Institute has worked on projects of applied research and social progress in such schools on themes related to health and the environment, which includes the promotion and implementation of alternative sanitation systems, for the last seven years and has received technical assistance from Stockholm Environment Institute.

''“One of the benefits that the new facilities bring to our school is that it does not need water for flushing and that we can take advantage of it for irrigation of plants, eating, drinking, hand washing.”'' – Alex
