In 15 years after the dismantling of the Sovjet system the sanitation system that was
widespread and functioning is falling apart, due to a lack of maintenance. Only bigger
cities get international subsidies, but villages are facing real health problems, especially in
children. Ecosanitation is a new, decentralized and cheap alternative.
