$600,000 is not a lot. Compare to cost to build a teahouse, now at least $1,000,000, due to high transport + labor cost.

The Problem
As climbing Everest has increased in popularity, the population of Everest Base Camp has gone from a few climbers and Sherpas per season to more than 1000 residents each April and May. Their toilets were never properly dealt with, always being dumped onto the ground. Now, the problem has ballooned to more than 12,000 kilos of untreated human waste being poured directly onto the Earth each season. We have to stop this before it is too late!
The Solution
We have designed a new, 100% sustainable solution to address this severe problem: a strong and reliable solar-powered human waste treatment biogas system, that purifies the waste, produces good quality farm fertilizer and clean cooking gas for local Sherpas. The system has been carefully tested and works well. We have chosen the exact location and are ready to build it. 100s of people are involved. We need your support.
