Sulabh International is an Indian NGO which developed a cheap and effective sanitary toilet - a two-pit, pourflush, water-seal system - that does not need sewers or expensive treatment plants. Sulabh toilets are now used by more than a million households in India and in over 3,000 community toilets. This profile of Sulabh International by its founder describes how this sanitation programme first began and how it has spread and diversified. The profile also describes Sulabh’s other work, including training and education for “ scavengers” who previously emptied latrines, the model village and rural sanitation programmes, research and the integrated health care model
