In the slums of Lima, the capital of Peru, many households do not have toilets at home. This represents a major health and insalubrity problem, with the appearance of infectious diseases and epidemics. To address this issue, the social enterprise X-runner has designed innovative, low-cost dry, portable and eco-friendly toilets, which it installs in homes, while teaching them how to use them. Once a week, X-runner comes to collect the excrement to make compost. A hygienic and ecological solution!
