Qualities of a well-built latrine

1. It should be 5 to 7 metres deep

2. The floor should be strong enough to stand on

3. The floor should be smooth to sweep and clean.

4. It should have a hole big enough to allow faeces and urine to
pass and small enough to prevent children from falling in-

side.

5. It should have walls and doors to provide privacy to the user.

6. It should have a lid to cover the hole. This cover controls

smell and the movement of flies.

7. It should be constructed 10 metres away from the main

house and 30 metres from the water source.

8. It should be built below the water table or source to avoid

contamination.
