Successfully handed over two period-friendly portable toilets to Srijanshil Traders and Sah Scrapers.

On March 11, 2025, as part of the WASH Facility installation, we successfully handed over two period-friendly portable toilets to Srijanshil Traders and Sah Scrapers. Both toilets feature separate compartments for men and women, along with a hand-washing station. The Sah Scraper center’s toilet is also designed to be fully accessible for people with disabilities. The women’s compartment is equipped with a sanitary pad vending machine and a disposal bin for used pads. After the handover, we conducted an orientation for the Informal Waste Workers on proper usage, cleanliness, and maintenance. To ensure hygiene, we also provided sanitary pads, cleaning supplies, soap dispensers, hand towels, and sanitizers to the two Her Safety women’s committees.

These facilities are provided through the RIVER+ project, funded by the Plastic Free Rivers and Seas for South Asia Project, implemented by the South Asia Co-operative Environment Programme, supported by The World Bank, and with implementing support from UNOPS.

The project is led by Biocomp Nepal in partnership with People in Need Nepal and CLEAN UP NEPAL. Together, we are committed to combating plastic pollution and protecting our rivers!
