Involving a community in its own betterment is a key factor to sustainable change. Sustainability of this project is ensured through co-funding by the community, and the formation of a sanitation ("watsan") committee. The community will provide all the local materials needed for the construction of the latrines, and do part of the construction. SHIPO will train the community-elected watsan committee on latrine maintenance.
