More than 4 billion people globally lack access to basic sanitation according to the World Health Organization, with women and girls disproportionately affected. Without the safety and privacy of toilets for basic sanitation, women and girls miss school, suffer from disease, and often face dreadful violence – from rape to murder. It’s inspiring to see mother and inventor Diana Yousef-Martinek pursue a solution that can make a difference. Her iThrone toilet doesn’t need water nor a connection to a sewage system, using instead a low-energy, breathable membrane that evaporates between 90-95 percent of the urine and feces waste. Having piloted her invention in Kiboga, Uganda and Panama City, this low-cost, simple solution has tremendous potential to put basic sanitation in reach for those without it. https://lnkd.in/eRrspp3B
