The consequences: inhumane conditions, health problems and high mortality rates. Simultaneously the growing\u00a0<\/span>demand for fuels leads to deforestation, high CO2 emissions and respiratory diseases.\u00a0To address those issues I developed a sanitation-cycle. It\u2019s starting point is the urine-diverting dry toilet MoSan, that I designed in 2012. However, the toilet alone is not the solution. To avoid the spread of disease, human excreta needs to be contained for transport, treatment and recycling. To ensure safe transportation of feces I developed an adequate container. After collection feces are sterilized by sunlight and processed into fuel briquettes. The service, including the container and the biofuel will lead to cleaner and healthier living conditions. For two months I worked with slum dwellers in Kenya. The success of the service has sparked interest in the development community.<\/span><\/h3>\n<pre class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Projekt: Masterarbeit \r\nInitiantin: <a href=\"http:\/\/cargocollective.com\/monamijthab\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;color: #0000ff\">Mona Mijthab<\/span><\/a>\r\nin Zusammenarbeit mit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.giz.de\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;color: #0000ff\">GIZ<\/span><\/a> und <a href=\"http:\/\/sanivation.com\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;color: #0000ff\">sanivation<\/span><\/a>\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/pre>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/designsocialimpact\/files\/2014\/05\/140116-Abstract_MonaMijthab.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-645\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/designsocialimpact\/files\/2014\/05\/140116-Abstract_MonaMijthab-1024x562.jpg\" alt=\"140116 Abstract_MonaMijthab\" width=\"554\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/designsocialimpact\/files\/2014\/05\/140116-Abstract_MonaMijthab-1024x562.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/designsocialimpact\/files\/2014\/05\/140116-Abstract_MonaMijthab-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/designsocialimpact\/files\/2014\/05\/140423-Abstract_MonaMijthab_kl-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-651\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/designsocialimpact\/files\/2014\/05\/140423-Abstract_MonaMijthab_kl-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"140423 Abstract_MonaMijthab_kl-3\" width=\"554\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/designsocialimpact\/files\/2014\/05\/140423-Abstract_MonaMijthab_kl-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/designsocialimpact\/files\/2014\/05\/140423-Abstract_MonaMijthab_kl-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/designsocialimpact\/files\/2014\/05\/140423-Abstract_MonaMijthab_kl-3.jpg 1042w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/designsocialimpact\/files\/2014\/05\/140423-Abstract_MonaMijthab_kl-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-647\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/designsocialimpact\/files\/2014\/05\/140423-Abstract_MonaMijthab_kl-1-628x1024.jpg\" alt=\"140423 Abstract_MonaMijthab_kl-1\" width=\"554\" height=\"903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/designsocialimpact\/files\/2014\/05\/140423-Abstract_MonaMijthab_kl-1-628x1024.jpg 628w, https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/designsocialimpact\/files\/2014\/05\/140423-Abstract_MonaMijthab_kl-1-184x300.jpg 184w, https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/designsocialimpact\/files\/2014\/05\/140423-Abstract_MonaMijthab_kl-1.jpg 668w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Projektbeispiele\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/designsocialimpact\/projektbeispiele\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;color: #0000ff\">zur\u00fcck<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Feces To Fuel \u2013 Sanitation Service to Transform Human Feces into\u00a0Solid Biofuel A global crisis: more than 2.5 billion people lack access to clean sanitation in developing countries.
