Everest Sanitation Alliance Public Toilets
Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal
The Everest Sanitation Alliance, an unofficial partnership between AWBS, Do Good Sh*t, and local champion Tenzing Sherpa, has designed a composting toilet facility for Phortse, Nepal. Construction of this prototype is nearly complete and we are looking forward to evaluating the building and the waste management system for potential use at several dozen other sites along the Everest Base Camp Trek.
Mt Everest Biogas Project
Base Camp of Mt. Everest, Nepal
Every year, more than 13 tons of human solid waste is carried down from Mt. Everest and is being dumped in open, unlined pits. AWB is partnering with Engineers Without Borders to design a digester to treat the waste and solve this environmental problem.
Deboche Nunnery
Khumbu Region of Mt. Everest, Nepal
AWB is supporting the critical renovation of the Deboche Convent, one of the oldest Buddhist nunneries outside of Tibet. The project will work on renovating the living quarters and the design of a new meditation center.
Venilale Community Meeting Hall
