Local Solutions in Mongolia

Local Solutions is an NGO based in Mongolia and a close partner of Hesperian.

Half of Ulaanbaatar’s 1.7 million residents live in ger (yurt) districts off the sewage-pipe grid. Local Solutions and Hesperian are securing funding to help them change their outhouses into alternative toilets that will cause less pollution and increase safety.

In the course of changing toilets, classes teach people to manage their bio waste, including dry toilet waste. In Mongolia, due to its 365-day wind, soil erosion is a constant issue and planting trees and having grassland around one’s home ​is a luxury that w​orks to improve the soil, the human environment and helps manage waste in off-grid ger (yurt) districts.

Estamos

Estamos is a community-based organization in Mozambique bringing latrines to rural villages and reducing the impact of HIV through health education. Estamos was founded by musician and activist Feliciano dos Santos, winner of the 2008 Goldman Environmental Prize for using traditional music to teach villagers about sanitation. Hesperian worked with Feliciano and his team at Estamos to develop A Community Guide to Environmental Health and Helping Children Live with HIV.
