We work closely with government officials at the local, county, and national levels advocating for a supportive
the policy environment for alternative safe sanitation solutions and models for deriving value from waste.
Our philanthropic partners support our work at the front-end of the value chain to develop and deploy
sanitation service delivery models for everyone, forever. This continuous innovation and expansion develops models that
municipalities can replicate affordably – thereby delivering services sustainably and reducing the cost to donors and the public sector.
At the back end of the value chain, our partners and investors support our efforts to
efficiently collect and convert waste into high-value end-products. This work requires the development of infrastructure
and logistics that are capital intensive and, given the well-established agricultural inputs markets,
can yield a financial return for investors.
The sanitation challenges we face today in Africa’s urban slums demand new, bold solutions. We need your help to turn ideas into lasting impact
