Everest Sanitation Alliance Public
Toilets
Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal

The Everest Sanitation Alliance, an unofficial partnership between AWBS, Do Good Sh*t, and local champion Tenzing Sherpa, has designed a composting toilet facility for Phortse, Nepal. Construction of this prototype is nearly complete and we are looking forward to evaluating the building and the waste management system for potential use at several dozen other sites along the Everest Base Camp Trek.

Mt Everest Biogas Project
Base Camp of Mt. Everest, Nepal

Every year, more than 13 tons of human solid waste is carried down from Mt. Everest and is being dumped in open, unlined pits. AWB is partnering with Engineers Without Borders to design a digester to treat the waste and solve this environmental problem.
