Orangi Pilot Project

Known as one of the most successful NGO sanitation provision projects, this community-owned, community-managed infrastructure upgrading program has helped over one million people to improve sanitation since its inception in 1980 when the primary means of sewage disposal were bucket latrines or soakpits, and open sewers. Its strategy is to minimize external support and help households achieve their own local development needs.
