Sanitation
Haiti constantly deals with major sanitation issues that create a cycle of illness and environmental contamination.  One of our first successful initiatives was the construction of composting toilets. Not only do these toilets contain human waste and keep it out of the environment, but the composting process itself also results in a nutrient-rich fertilizer great for reforestation. Vwa Ayiti hires local artists to paint each toilet, turning them into works of art that foster community pride and dignity.
