  1. Sanitation Problems Faced By Women in Disaster Affected Areas • Lack of hygienic toilets and other forms of sanitation. • Fear of poisonous snakes and other insects while relieving themselves in the open. • The Construction Time for toilets is about 3-4 days due to the time consuming process of sourcing the available local raw materials as well as skilled/semi-skilled labour. • The Toilets available in those areas does not suffice the Population- Pressure. • Due to delayed Toilet Construction Process coupled with increased Population Pressure People might start Defecating in the open which might also be near Water Sources which can further lead to an epidemic of Diarhorea , Dysentery and other Water- borne Fatal Diseases.

  2. Problems Faced By The Womenin Disaster Affected Areas • Lack of Private Space in order to Take a Bath, Change or Relieve Themselves. • Fear of poisonous snakes and other insects while catering to their Personal Needs away from the ‘’Prying Eyes’’. • During those special 4- 5 days of the month Women and Adolescent Girlsneeds privacy and a clean environment, providing which becomes impossible when Large number of People gets Displaced. • Lack of Private and Safe Space for Small Children while Mothers are away. • Lack of Private Space for Mothers while they are Feeding their Child.

  8. As Per Our Research ( Existing Toilets In Disaster Struck Areas) Current challenges ! Existing toilets in Disaster areas • Current Toilet Construction Scenario • Time Consuming - Need to source Raw Material for Superstructure. • Labour Intensive – Hard to find Labour in Emergency. • Current Installation Time : 2-3 Days .

  9. Advantages of R R Permanent Toilet Construction Time : 15-20 days. Sourcing of Raw Materials is a pre requisite. Labour required for Pit-Digging & overall construction. In case of similar spillage situation Open Defecation becomes the only alternative. No such provision exists in this case and again Open Defecation becomes the only alternative. • Quickly Deployable : 5-8 hours approx. to construct. • No Raw Material required for the construction. • Labour required just for Pit-Digging. • In case of pit spillage/ waste encroaching the water table this toilet can be decommissioned & commissioned elsewhere quickly. • In case of any emergency this Toilet could be quickly decommissioned & commissioned and re used.

  10. R – The Easily Deployable Emergency Superstructure Solution From Innovations Unlimited Toilet Slab INR 2600** Superstructure INR 3700** Complete Toilet Solution INR 6300** **Taxes, Applicable Duties and Transportation Cost would be extra and would be on actuals.
