At the beginning of 2016, the Zambian branch of Water and Sanitation for the Urban Poor (WSUP) and Lusaka Water and Sewerage Company (LWSC) worked with Wish for WASH (W4W), a Georgia Tech founded student startup, to retrofit one of the three-hundred Ecological Sanitation (EcoSan) toilets in a Lusaka’s peri-urban compound. The EcoSan toilets, originally constructed in 2010 as an improved form of sanitation, were found to be largely misused or unused altogether. A pilot, therefore, was conducted to test new design of a functional and desirable toilet facility that restored the superstructure of the EcoSan system. This is a comprehensive learning report following this pilot.
