In pictures: Building toilets in Peru


The 10 volunteers, all from the UK, spent more than two months building a new toilet block for the nursery school, as well as teaching at a local community centre.

After digging a pit 5ft (1.5m) deep, the volunteers cement the base and use bricks to build the silo which will store the new toilet's waste for up to two years.
