Kowdipally

This is Kowdipally, a small village that will soon have a Soilet. We took this trip to assess the needs of the area in order to prepare to build the Science Community Center. It will be a place to help kids stay motivated for school while helping the adults learn principles of self reliance and hygiene. To our surprise, this rural community had power, cell phones, running water, but not a single toilet! (Check out the Youtube video a few posts down, especially if these stats surprised you, as they did me). And from what I have observed, this is a common phenomenon throughout rural India. One Soilet system can't support this whole rural community, but this Soilet will serve as a prototype for all of India.
