Team addition

We are happy and proud to introduce our newest team member: Natalia Benavides currently studies Commun-ication for Development at La Católica. She will be in charge of monitoring the pilot and our users, and of analyzing the information and feedback that we will be receiving. Welcome Natalia!

Kick-off Day!

Monday was a special day: we delivered two of our very first x-runner toilets to pilot families! It was beautiful to finally see the product in its place, to engage our users in this new experience and to see our entire team in action. In the coming weeks we’ll deliver more toilets and also start the pick-up service – so stay tuned for more exciting news! In the meantime, enjoy a few pictures.

Composting!

Today, Juan and Celia took us on a tour through their alma mater, the National Agrarian University of Lima, to explain to Carmen how the composting process works. As part of our preparation, we saw the different stages of composting and studied some of the organic matter that we’ll be adding to the feces collected with our toilets. Take a look at the photos!
