Ecosan toilets for 2,000 people in Tamil Nadu
In November 2010, we held a large fundraising event in the UK which raised enough money for us to build individual ecosan (composting) toilets for 2,000 people in the village of Kanur, Tamil Nadu, India.
The Doorway to Dignity charity auction was a great success, auctioning off unique pieces of artwork from UK artists, musicians, celebrities, fashion designers and politicians; we had contributions from Annie Lennox, Kenneth Branagh, Ralph Steadman, Maggie Hambling and world-renowned shoe designer Manolo Blahnik, to name but a few.
