The Norrköping Twestival, held September 13 2009, raised 135 euro. Thanks to this Twestival event, the people of Tbilisi are closer to safe sanitation and drinkwater. Looking forward to the next Norrköping Twestival!

The Georgian minister of Environment contacted the local partner RCDA because he is concerned about the pollution of the Aragvi river. He would like to know more about the solutions that WECF and its partners propose to prevent water pollution. WECF and RCDA gave a presentation on ecological sanitation and water pollution. The minister expressed his support for our activities and is ready to provide co-funding and other support if we want to engage in a project with him. All our activities, including this project, have his full support. A few days later he came to the demonstration center to see the Urine Diverting Dry toilets in operation.
