Services Overview

Training Services The ecological sanitation (ecosan) concept represents the zenith of the paradigm swing initiated in reply to satisfying the health needs of un-served, mostly in the developing economies of the world, including India. Education on ecosan by ESF is to enable the people to develop, plan and implement eco-sanitation systems that are hygienically safe, socially acceptable, economically feasible, environmentally sound and technically appropriate.

Promotional Activities It is important to create awareness, educate and share information to bring the required paradigm swing towards ecological sanitation (ecosan). ESF partners different organizations in bringing sanitation to limelight, and thus giving true meaning to the word advocacy - “the process of managing information and knowledge strategically to change and/or influence policies and practices that affect the lives of people – particularly the disadvantaged”.

ProjectsThe 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. This it becomes more important to demonstrate this idea in action - and thus projects.

Consulting ServicesDemonstration project generates interest of various stakeholders, who realize the importance of ecological sanitation (ecosan) and request our services. Thus, the Consulting unit has the mission of supporting individuals, industrial, commercial, residential, educational and governmental partners with the implementation of ecological sanitation systems to manage communal water in their premises.
