Bottom Up: Sparc Toilets

• SPARC is an Indian NGO that works with communities in Mumbai to build new toilet blocks, connected to city sewers and water supplies.
• The local community helps to construct the toilet and families from the community can then purchase monthly permits to use it for a very cheap price- about 25p
• The SPARC toilet blocks have electric lights, making them safer to use at night, and separate toilets for children
• Once they have a permit, they can use the toilet block as many times as they want during the month
• Sparc has provided 6400 toilets to Mumbai in total in the past 5 years
