3. Can ecosan be implemented at schools?

Yes, Going to school in a clean and healthy school environment is every child's right. Many children in developing countries, however, do not have access to safe and clean sanitation facilities on school. Schools too often suffer from non-existent or insufficient sanitation and hand-washing facilities. In many countries throughout the world, schools have very poor sanitation environments. Under these conditions, schools become unsafe places where diseases are transmitted, with mutually reinforcing negative impacts for the children, their families, the schools and overall development. Good health at school is essential for now and an investment for the future. These are the entry points for good ecological sanitation systems. School children can act as ambassadors for new innovative ecological sanitation systems and can spread the idea among their relatives

The concept behind ecological sanitation (ecosan) is that sanitation problems could be solved more sustainable and efficiently if the resources contained in excreta and wastewater were recovered and used rather than discharged into the water bodies and the surrounding environment.

It is important to create awareness, educate and share information to bring the required paradigm swing towards ecological sanitation (ecosan), and this is well-achieved through promotional activities - participation in events, lectures, grass-root level participation, etc.
