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.
Our
systems-based approach to solving the sanitation crisis involves five key
steps: we build a dense network of low-cost, high-quality waterless sanitation
facilities – called Fresh Life Toilets.
We
provide critical support services – such as access to finance, business
analytics, training and aspirational marketing and branding.
We
collect the waste regularly and safely remove it from the community for
treatment. We convert the waste into valuable end products, such as organic
fertilizer and insect-based animal protein, which we sell to Kenyan farms.
We launched our first toilet in November 2011, and we now have a network of over 600 active Fresh Life Toilets run by over 300 Fresh Life Operators.
We
have collected and converted over 7,800 tons of waste. At the same time, we
have built a team of over 250 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 Best Companies
in Africa.
Since launching our first toilet, we have diversified our product and service offerings in order to reach an increasing proportion of the residents of the communities we serve.
Creation
of our residential and school service delivery models has brought us closer to
our goal of reaching everyone, forever. Still, we know there are people we
don't reach.
We
continue to strive to reach all residents wherever they are, and whenever they
need sanitation. To that end, we are developing a pipeline of new products and
services that will enable us to expand our impact.
