Manavta 4 billion people on our planet are subjected to unsafe sanitation. Our top priority is to minimize that number.

We are working on creating a world where clean water, hygiene and decent toilets is normal for everyone. Our project began in Nepal, where two-thirds of the population still relies on open defecation and many communities have no sanitation infrastructure. We partner with the communities, local NGOs and public officials to build EcoSan toilets at rural schools. We build our toilets at schools, because children are the most affected by the lack of sanitation facilities. UNICEF estimates that 443 million school days are lost to sanitation-related diseases every year. However, our work doesn’t end when the toilets are finished. Without classroom teaching of good sanitation practices, the toilets are entirely useless. Education is integral to the success of this project.

💩🌍 Toilets are never just toilets.

Our friend and fellow s**t disturber Sarah Walt Weaver has put together a brilliant little tour of some of the most epic and interesting toilets she’s encountered around the world, from pit toilets in Montana to a toilet overlooking the mountains in British Columbia and some seriously creative designs across Asia and Africa.

A fun reminder that toilets, sanitation and how we deal with human waste look very different around the world.

Give it a read, have a laugh, and maybe look at your own toilet a little differently.

Toilet designs I’ve observed around the world, rated either by EPIC LOCATION or INTERESTING INVENTION.

🚨 🇳🇵 URGENT CALL TO OUR S**T DISTURBERS

Manavta is partnering with Rural Women’s Network Nepal (RUWON) to support families affected by the devastating floods in Rasuwa District.

RUWON members have already travelled directly to Rasuwa to provide initial emergency relief. They will be returning because the need is still immense, and more support is urgently required.

We are raising funds for:
• Food and clean water
• transportation
• Hygiene materials
• Temporary shelter
• Essential supplies for women, children and families

Any amount will go a long way. If you can donate, please use the link in our bio. If you can’t, sharing this post can help us reach someone who can.

Thank you for giving a s**t!

Back in Jumla! 💙

We recently visited our two project sites at Kalika and Rasa Schools, working alongside public health students from Karnali Academy of Health Sciences (KAHS).

Together, we delivered school health sessions focused on hygiene, nutrition, mental health, and menstrual health. 🧼🥗🧠🌸

For us, building infrastructure is only the beginning. Education is key to making these projects sustainable long-term — giving students the knowledge and confidence to maintain healthy habits and take ownership of the facilities in their schools.

Build it. Teach it. Sustain it. 💧

We’ve seen many toilets over the years… and yeah, it’s always a mix.

Some are solid, clean, and actually being used. Others? Broken, locked, or just not part of daily school life anymore. Different sizes, different builds—but the same reality: just building a toilet doesn’t mean it’ll make a difference.

That’s why our focus is on sustainability. Not just construction, but making sure toilets are used properly, maintained, and understood. It’s about long-term impact—designing for the community, building ownership, and making hygiene part of everyday life.

Because if it’s not used, it doesn’t work. 🚽💧

Spend the day with our team in Rasa village diving into field research for our newest project 🌿

What an experience. The journey itself was an adventure, navigating remote landscapes, connecting with the community, and gaining real insight into the challenges people face every day.

These are the moments that remind us why this work matters. Being on the ground, listening, learning, and building alongside the community is where real impact begins.

More to come as this project takes shape. 🚀

Globally, 2 in 5 schools lack basic sanitation and clean water access, increasing students risk of illness and missed learning time.

We’re heading back to Jumla to focus on hygiene education and hands-on activities that keep kids healthy, in school, and thriving. 🌱

🚽 It's not just toilets, it’s dignity, health & education

At Namuna School in Jumla, building a proper toilet was only step one. What really changed lives was the hygiene and sanitation education that came with it.

Clean facilities + knowledge = kids (especially girls) staying healthy, confident, and in class — not missing school because of periods, illness or lack of privacy. 

Because our work isn’t just about building a place to do your business, it’s about giving every child the chance to learn, grow, and thrive!

In a world of constant change, uncertainty and a bit of chaos, education is the anchor that keeps hope alive. 🌍📚

We have a singular goal. To ensure that children stay in school, because every day in the classroom is a step toward a brighter future, for them and the communities they serve.

Learning isn’t just about books. By supporting education, we’re helping the next generation build a better tomorrow. ✨
