Starting the Twin VIP


4/9/08: We started construction of the Twin Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) latrine. It is designed for composting, so there must be access for someone to climb down into the pit after it has composted. We spent the day digging a pit, preparing a site to pour the slab, and determining how many concrete blocks we would need. It was a slower process than the engineer in me would like, but they are definitely starting to understand the process.
