Thank you to everyone for all of the great information.  Yes, there are a lot of factors that go into deciding exactly how many toilets to provide.  I was just looking to be able to make a quick estimate, and from the information provided I will be able to do that.   The project is going to be in Colombia, and has about 150 households.  They are subsistence farmers, and so I think I will be talking to them about composting toilets.  Right now 96% of the community goes to the bathroom in the open, and so, as someone suggested, we will need promotion, and to educate the community.  This project is in its infancy, and I still have a lot to learn about the community, but everyone's comments are very helpful.  

Lokesh, do you have a design for the fabricated bioreactor? 

Jürgen, Thanks for the link to the SPHERE manual.  I'll give it a read.

Prem, thank you too for the links you provide.  It looks like they will be very helpful.
