Latrine Repair Project in Rugerero Rwanda

Below is a satellite image showing the homes in Rugerero Rwanda. The homes are colored based on whether their latrines are fully functional, damaged, or non-functional.

Below is a legend for the colors in the map with pictures of typical latrine pits.

Between August 22 and September 20, 2008, the EWB Mid Atlantic Professionals will be in Rugerero to implement a latrine upgrading project. During the trip, EWB-MAP plans to upgrade at least five of the worst latrines based on the design shown below. Latrine upgrades will continue with local supplies and labor over the next year.
