Sanitation First has made significant strides by erecting over 3000 individual household EcoSan toilets. These innovative facilities not only provide families with a convenient and hygienic means of sanitation within the confines of their homes but also offer an additional benefit – the retrieval of compost. This compost, derived from the EcoSan toilets, serves as a valuable resource for households, enriching the soil with essential nutrients that support the growth of crops and flowering plants. Through this dual-purpose approach, Sanitation First not only addresses the immediate need for safe sanitation but also contributes to the sustainability of agricultural practices, ultimately enhancing the overall well-being of communities.

GroFil (DEWATS)

Puducherry
In communities and schools where resource recovery is neither logistically nor programmatically feasible, Sanitation First offers toilets utilizing Dewats systems. These systems, characterized by low cost and high efficiency, employ natural, biological, and physical processes for waste management. Waste undergoes treatment through various stages, including the settler, anaerobic baffled reactor, and fixed bed anaerobic filter, culminating in a planted Gravel filter integrated into the surrounding landscape. This approach guarantees that no untreated waste is released into the environment, ensuring safe sanitation practices with minimal water consumption.
