Completion Date: 2013-12-01

Technology Used:

Approach
Preventing the groundwater from pollution that resulted from the use of poor communities to the old methods to get rid of wastewater and toilet's waste ,also improve the quality of overall environment ,maintain health and reduce the incidence of diseases through the implementation of low –cost sanitation model to apply in various locations ( rural areas / random hamlets ) and also reuse the sanitation's treated water in irrigation.
The Technology
1. House connection: is a Pipe a connection between any house and the gravity pipe system, to dispose wastewater from the house to collection system.
2. Gravity lines: implemented in the streets to collect wastewater from houses.
3. Lift station: A concrete underground sump to collect wastewater and pump it to wastewater treatment plant
4. Force main: the pipe that delivery wastewater from the lift station to the treatment plant
5. Treatment plant: It located on the drain and used natural simple way to treat wastewater.

Phases:

The project divided into three phases
1- Phase one (Community adaption)3 months
2- Phase two (Constructions and house connections)6 months
3- Phase three ( Operation the model)

Community Organization:

Through Together Association strategy in working into communities to ensure sustainability from the earlier stages of our projects by two ways.
1- Establish new community based association from the villagers whom interested with the project and supported the idea, build their capacities to follow up on the constructions , collect the community contributions and manage and maintain the system in-cooperation with TA and by their own selves after the end of the project.
2- Or if the association is already founded TA take the same previous procedures of built their capacities and trained them and cooperate with them through the project phases.

Government Interaction:

The government in Egypt will be involved and supported the project in several ways.
1-Give the needed licenses for constructions' work in case that all the work on agriculture lands and it always being governmental appropriate (Ministry of agriculture).
2- Supervise the operation of the system to ensure the quality of its capacity (Ministry of irrigation).
3- The needed approvals for TA to work in a this grant from the Ministry of Solidarity

Ancillary activities:

The project consists of Ancillary Activities such as.
1- Health campaigns to heal and check the diseases between the community citizens.
2- Awareness campaigns for the women house holders to aware them with the advantages of the new system and how to deal with it.
3- Culture campaigns for the community children to educate them about the new technology and the civilized traditions.

Other Issues:

 Improved public health in the local community, mainly because of the availability of better sanitation and a safer water supply.
 Lower costs for communities compared to government-proposed sewage systems that often call for massive investments, thus increasing the likelihood that a community will actually be able to develop a system that meets its inhabitants’ needs.
 Unemployed village youths or other members of the community are trained to construct and provide maintenance services for these systems, therefore generating local employment.
 The increased availability of basic infrastructure reduces the pressure to migrate to urban centers for inhabitants of rural areas, especially its younger population.
 Further benefits include the ability to produce organic fertilizer and water suitable for irrigation purposes
