Fellow
Research and Development - 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.
Our
systems-based approach to solving the sanitation crisis involves five key
steps: we build a dense network of franchised micro-entrepreneurs, who operate
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 marketing.
We
collect the waste regularly and safely remove it from the community. We convert
the waste into valuable end products, such as organic fertilizer, insect-based
animal feed, and renewable energy. Finally, we sell the end products to Kenyan
farms under the brand name Farm Star.
Since
November 2011, we have launched over 1250 Fresh Life Toilets to a network of
more than 600 Fresh Life Operators. We have collected and converted over 6,000
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 Most
Innovative Companies in Africa.
