INTRODUCTION

Since September, 2017, TEMACO piloted a new project of production of a sanitation product called EcoTeto or Ecological TEMACO Toilet, manufactured from reverse engineering and combination of basic slab toilet, Sato, and Safi technology. EcoTeto has been developed based on the National Sanitation Policy and Implementation Strategy. It is an improved, smart, and affordable latrine to be provided especially to rural area districts, targeting the low income earning households and disabled people. This product has already been provided to more than 3000 households

ECOTETO DESCRIPTION

EcoTETO is affordable and eco-friendly latrines! It facilitate segregation, containment, emptying, and re-use of waste. Following are ECOTETO’s advantages:

• It prevents contamination of water bodies
• It breaks contact between humans and feces

WOODEN SATO SLAB (DESIGNED CHAIR FOR OLD AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY)

Our sanitation project takes the elderly and all physically challenged people into consideration. We have designed a product called “AGATEBE” (small chair in English). This is a toilet chair which is not fixed on the toilet slab, but can be used on any type of the toilet by simply placing it on the top of the slab to facilitated a disabled person use the toilet with ease.
