About Sanergy: Sanergy is an award-winning social venture that
builds healthy, prosperous communities by making hygienic sanitation accessible
and affordable in Africa’s urban informal settlements.
We collect the waste regularly and
safely remove it from the community. We convert the waste into valuable
by-products, such as organic fertilizer and renewable energy. Finally, we sell
the by-products to Kenyan farms.
Since November 2011, we have launched
over 500 Fresh Life Toilets to a network of 250 Fresh Life Operators. We have
collected and converted over 3,500 tons of waste. At the same time, we have
built a team of almost 200 people.
For our work, we have been recognized
by Fast Company as one of the 10 Most Innovative Companies in the World Doing
Social Good and one of the 10 Most Innovative Companies in Africa.
