Map the Crap

• Unlike in the rich world, the majority of people in African cities do not benefit from the luxury of sewerage. Their toilets, if they have any, hover above pits that have usually been hand dug.

• The problem is that the guys who empty it don't make a lot of money. As a result they cannot afford safety equipment and they are sometimes tempted to take shortcuts.

• Can you help them coordinate?
