WASHKING bio-digester toilets for slums

Pay-per-use sanitation that becomes fertiliser

WASHKING (Accra, Ghana) builds bio-digester toilets for dense neighbourhoods, reducing faecal waste by 90% and converting it into fertiliser. A pay-per-use model keeps toilets affordable while protecting dignity, safety, and hygiene. Impacc lists support for WASHKING as completed, treat this as a replicable pattern, not a live Impacc grant.

What you can do

• Study how pay-per-use sanitation funds maintenance without large upfront household costs
• Partner with local cooperatives to adapt bio-digester designs to your settlement's layout
• Connect fertiliser outputs to urban gardens or peri-urban farms

Why it matters

Sanitation is mutual aid infrastructure. When waste loops close into soil nutrients, communities gain health and food sovereignty together.
