Once the toilets have been established for some time it is easier to include questions about toilets into other 
monitoring activities, for example into focus groups held as part of an annual knowledge, attitudes and practice 
study. 

 
Tiger Worm Toilet Education Materials. 

The experienced WASH team (from Dire Dawa, Ethiopia) came up with the following ideas for tiger worm 
toilets education materials, these ideas have use to develop our IEC materials.  

 

1.  Tiger toilet is a flushing system (a water drainage system) 

2. The worms in the pit transform the faecal matter into vermin-compost 

3.  The toilet does not smell & has no flies 

4. Do not use any disinfectants & detergents (bleaching agent) during cleaning the toilet 

5. Use only water when cleaning the toilet 

6. Do not drop stone, plastics, and menstrual cleaning pads into the opening of the pit 

7. Do not exceed the number of users that the toilet was designed for. 

8. Flush the toilet with 1-2 litre of water after each use 

9. Cover the hole with the lid after each use to avoid entrance of flies 

10. The toilet is not designed for showering (don’t use for showering)
