Method for “Poop in the Loop"

  1. Person uses the givelove toilet located in a small infrastructure with a solar powered light and door. The waste is collected in the 5 L bucket underneath. Hands are washed in the washing station built with recycled products, using a water well that givelove has constructed nearby.
  2. The bucket is taken to the composting structure. It is poured into the safely enclosed wood or wire box, where it is tossed with grasses and food waste with a pitchfork.
  3. When the compost is full the natural combination of oxygen, human waste and food waste creates heat through a chemical reaction. After reaching 112 degrees, the bacteria burns off. It is covered and left to sit up to 24 months.
  4. The compost soil is now ready to be used for growing food or coffee beans. It has been proven that growing vegetables using the human manure not only grows the produce faster, but is more nutrient rich than a typical compost soil.
  5. The final compost can be made into pellets to sell to coffee growers, or used to grow their own food such as tomatoes to sell in the market. This aids the affected communities to become entrepreneurs with sense of pride.
