Urgently needed - toilets in Syria

This is what it looks like when people in emergency situations have to make their own sanitation solution.

Together with the local partner organisation Bonyan, arche noVa is building toilets in north-west Syria, where war has been raging for almost twelve years and people are seeking refuge in informal settlements.

Even in emergency relief, a proper septic tank is part of adequate sanitation.

Construction progress at one of our building sites in an informal seclusion.

The interior work continues...

...doors for the toilet cabins are delivered.

This is what a finished sanitation solution looks like, like the one arche noVa is building in the crisis area in Northern Syria. This makes the everyday life of the people a lot easier.

The global community has set a goal that by 2030 everyone will have access to sanitation. This includes millions of people who are still poorly served today in humanitarian crises.
