I definitely agree that the community is integral in implementing long-term solutions. We believe that access to toilets is a right, and so our mission is to fight alongside these communities to realize access to this sanitation infrastructure. Community input starts with identifying the right location to put the facility (we focus on rural areas where the space is not an issue). Community members petition to get Indian government land handed over for us to build on, and local community members are the folks hired to run the facilities.
