About CLTS Foundation in CB 88 Salt Lake City, Sector 1, Kolkata

When triggered the feeling of ‘disgust’, ‘shame’, ‘self-respect’ and ‘fear’ prompts a self-realization amongst the individuals as well as the entire community of the negative consequences on health, environment and economy. CLTS is triggered through hands-off facilitation and participatory analysis of a community’s sanitation profile , which stimulates the basic desire to avoid contact with human excreta. Self-respect, shame, disgust and fear of contamination drive communities towards an urgent collective local action to get out of the filth. These considerations then drive women, men and children to collectively work to create Open Defecation Free (ODF) communities.
