The manual is intended for use by trainers and training institutions with limited access to formal training facilities and limited experience with advanced training methods. The trainees should have prior experience working in concrete construction and preferably be practicing masons. The manual imparts the most relevant and appropriate skills to masons to enable them to respond to consumer demand for low-cost latrine technologies.
The manual is organised in modules that logically proceed through the construction process: assembling and preparing materials, understanding designs, preparing moulds, mixing and pouring concrete, placing the slabs and completing the latrine. The latrine design also includes provision of a locally fabricated Tippy-Tap hand washing station.
