BUILDING COLLECTIVE TOILET SEWAGE SYSTEM AND PUBLIC TOILET PITS TOWARDS CLEANER AND HEALTHIER WATER ECOSYSTEM IN TANDALE WARD IN DAR ES SALAAM
Following the environmental issues and the effect of climate change to the people the project aims to build the collective toilet sewage systems directed to the universal toilet pits for easy waste management. This program will help to combat outbreaks of infectious diseases like cholera, typhoid, malaria, fungus, urinary tract infections (UTI) and so many others that have been reported season after season. These diseases erupt due to poor toilets sewage systems and presence of too many low quality toilet pits in the streets in Tanzania that are often affected by rain and floods and have led to unsecured toilet service and spread of contamination of bacteria and viruses to the water sources.

Analisis Konteks
The project will be operated in Tandale ward in Dar es salaam. It is a place where the population is concentrated to small and medium businesses, there’s economic and social integration of people but in this ward there’s poor and old sewage systems that cannot endure during the rain seasons. A lot of wastes from toilet chambers are taken and moved by water on the surface and some enter the houses, shops and disturb the communication and transportation systems. The geographical setting of this area is not friendly to the sewage system leading to blockage of waste sewers and road culverts and therefore a universal toilet sewage system will help to manage toilets wastes collected in a single street toilet pit.

Bagaimana kita bisa berhasil mereplikasi solusi ini di tempat lain?
This project is more needed in the developing countries whereby toilets sewage systems are well structured. We can repeat the same mistake if we do not plan and transform the way we think. Government use a lot of money on remedial actions that could be avoided by installing proper town sewage systems that are universal an accessible to every household. Since the government builds the public dumps for disposing solid wastes, can also invest in constructing possible public toilet pits to ease waste water management and meet the sustainable development goals get cleaner and healthier water ecosystem. Private toilet pits have proved failure due to high cost of maintenance per household and are of low quality to endure bad weather such heavy rain and floods.
