Abstract:
Manual latrine emptying must be one of the world’s worst jobs. If you don’t believe me, watch this World Bank video of one day in the life of Patrick Mburu.
Patrick works in the Kibera slum of Nairobi, Kenya, where he bravely uses buckets to scoop up a foul-smelling, toxic brew of stale urine and fecal sludge from makeshift septic tanks and pit latrines. It’s a job that no one really wants. To earn his pay, Patrick often wades up to his armpits into a substance that teems with dangerous and potentially deadly pathogens. Public health experts estimate that fecal contamination is the underlying source of a majority of infections worldwide.
