Background Information
Inadequate sanitation is a major cause of preventable illnesses in children around the world. According to UNICEF, diarrhea alone causes over 1.6 million deaths in children under 5. These illnesses can easily be prevented by improving sanitation. However, cost is a major barrier limiting the adoption of sanitation in Haiti. Peter Morgan’s Arborloo is a simple latrine built over a small pit, which when filled is then moved to a new pit location. The old, filled pit then has vegetation planted on top of it, such as a fruit tree.
