Dear Sir, I have designed a portable sustainable, affordable sanitary system for developing countries. The system suggests anaerobic digestion and has huge market potential. Please find below a summery of the project. I am about to publish a book to support my idea. OPEN DEFECATION AND HEALTH Sanitation foster social development. At its core are human dignity and human rights. For the 2.6 billion people who have to defecate behind bushes, in plastic bags or buckets, along railway tracks or in roadside ditches, human dignity is under daily assault. Every day, worldwide, people are falling sick and dying for no better reason than the lack of a good clean toilet (Geneva_AFP March 2008). About 2 in every five people have no access to a proper toilet. “ In the world today, there are 15 million deaths caused by infectios diseases” said David Heyman, WHO’s assistant director general for health security environment (GENEVA_AFP March 2008). People become infected with intestinal worms through contact with soil that has been contaminated with human faeces from an infected person, or by eating contaminated food. It is estimated that about 400 million school –aged children are infected by roundworm, whipworm and/or hookworm etc. Toilet saves life. Most schools in developing countries are built without any Toilets. Where no toilet blocks are set aside for girls, parents won’t allow their daughters to attend school, specially once they have started menstruating and need somewhere discrete to change and disposed of used clothes. This is the reason why one in four girls do not complete primary school, compared to one in seven. GREEN TO GOLD. In many developing countries such as in India there are organized PAY AS YOU GO public toilets. People spend a great deal of time each day queuing up. World Health Organization made a conservative estimate of 30 minuites per person per day, amounting to 21 unproductive hours a week for a household of six people. Improved sanitation would give every such household an additional 1,000 hours a year to work, study, care for children. This time has an estimated annual economic value of well over US$ 100 billion each year. Concept To Design. Neat U Loo system is a household centered approach. The approach allows a step by step implementation and does not burden the budget of local/ central or NGO’s budget. This is an affordable, easy to implement hygienic cost effective and even with the prospect of financial and benefit and lastly but most importantly environmental benefit. Private household may be ready to pay for the units if there is an evidence of joined up service. The household centred approach allows nutrient recovery and reuse of human excreta in agriculture and biogas production for domestic use.

I am looking for a company who can make the proto type and sign a licencing agreement with my agets " Design Mind Group". The concept has huge international impact and would be a very profitable venture. I am searching for a export oriented company in UK who would take advantage of Government's Aid benefits supplying services rather than fundingFunding is a one time solution. Infrastructure development is a life long improvement of general well being of the developing nation. Thanking you.
