Challenge

David is suffering from diabetes and just recently his leg was amputated due to complications. An artificial leg will make him be mobile again even if not comparable to when he has natural legs. This will give him a little sunshine in the waning days of his life.

Solution

David will be able to be productive and walk again, visit friends, tend to his small garden and be happy and enjoy the last days of his life with a new prosthetic leg. He yearns for this and will be very happy to have one.

Long-Term Impact

The long-term impact in implementing waterless toilets is preventing the spread of diseases and the re-use of human waste in agriculture production. Poor farmers could not purchase commercial fertilizer and this is a big boost to their farm production and income. The rainwater collectors will enable communities to harvest rain and use this in their daily needs with excess to their gardens. This is most useful in barrios located in the mountains where water source is very far.
