Boys urinal finished in Malawi
Together with our new partner Extra Mile Development Foundation (EMDEF) in Malawi, we recently finished the construction of a Boys Urinal Block at St Dominic Primary School in Mzimba North, Malawi.

Defuse the ‘sludge bomb’
Professor Elizabeth Tilley is the co-author of the research in the Journal of Environmental Management ‚Sludge bomb: The impending emptying and treatment crisis in Blantyre, Malawi’. This report was the initial spark for Toilets for All to contact Elizabeth to find ways how to help start to diffuse the problem. She was very enthusiastic and supported Toilets for All to find the right partners (the local NGO Waste Advisors Malawi and the local Latrine Emptying Association) and projects in Blantyre, Malawi.
