To provide estimates on respondents' perspectives on new toilets in a refugee camp setting
Kakuma refugee camp, located in Turkana County in northwestern Kenya, was established in 1992 to temporarily accept approximately 20,000 refugees from Sudan and Ethiopia. At the time of the study, April 2014, the camp population exceeded 150,000 refugees representing 19 different nationalities. The study provided an alternative sanitation system to 32 participating household, to include: a regularly serviced toilet unit, solar waste treatment, and the production of charcoal briquettes. The new toilets were designed with two openings, one for urine and other liquids and one for feces, to promote cleaner and more efficient disposal of the waste material.
