Since 2022, FIN has been collaborating with Engineers without Borders (EWB) to explore and promote innovative solutions to problems linked to the WaSH sector (water, sanitation and hygiene). Every year, FIN offers challenges from the Kameswaram village context to EWB, to be proposed to hundreds of students in Ireland. In 2022, the challenge was to create “frugal designs” to improve access to safe sanitation.

In that competition special mention was given to “The Grow Better with Ecosan animation video” by a team from NCAD Dublin. This idea came from John. Prof. Shyama Ramani, FIN founder-director liked the innovation very much and you’ll see how it has been integrated in Kameswaram.
In the meantime, we welcome you to e-meet John over the next few posts where he explains the Who? What? Why? How? and a lot more of this AI/IoT based e-innovation for sanitation!
Let’s start with the first question – Who are you John? Tell us about yourself.
