The triple problems of open defecation, plastic waste littering and street youth menace beset many communities in Ghana. An estimated 6 million Ghanaians defecate outside everyday because they have no access to toilet facilities. This exposes the public to 1000 tons of untreated feces left out in the open. Each year this untreated excreta kills thousands of Ghanaians. 3T is a for impact social enterprise that trains street youth and people with disabilities to rescue and up-cycle plastic bottles creating serious environmental havoc to build affordable micro-flush toilet facilities and roadside waterless urinals to help address the lack of adequate and accessible toilet facilities which are the major causes of open defecation in Ghana. Every toilet facility and urinal built by 3T reduces land pollution, creates employment and serves as a very visible reminder that plastic waste can often be put to good use long after its initial purpose has expired.
