Dr. Pete Cobalt and Dr. Peter Dreher PhD P.E. founded Toilets4Africa because their greatest passion is Saving Lives. Providing toilets in the developing world is one of the Least Expensive ways to save the Most Lives with their meager resources. Yearly 1.6 million people die directly from fecal diseases and another 250,000 die from starvation caused by intestinal worms.
Throne Toilets reduce these Deaths by killing diseases right in the toilet bags within 24 hours. Throne microbes are sprayed on the fecal pile after every defecation. Throne uses food-grade microbes to eat or kill Cholera, Typhoid, E. Coli, Shigella, Intestinal worm eggs and larvae, viruses, and other diseases.
Throne microbes devour not only diseases but also the odors they make. When the sealed Lid of the Throne Toilet is lifted the next morning, there is little odor.
Throne Farm maintains the toilets, collecting fece bags, urine, providing toilet paper, soap, and medical supplies. Throne Farm also provides jobs, some vitamin-laden food, and electric cooking facilities for the villagers.
Toilets4Africa also provides a Bullet-proof Outhouse for each family toilet, where teenage daughters can hide when the gun-slinging, kidnapper rapists come to town. Toilets4Africa also pays the $25/year High School tuition and $60/year College tuition for Girls of Throne Toilet families.
