Vacancy: Fellows Program
Location: Nairobi, Kenya
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.
We are an increasingly sophisticated, highly intricate organization with many moving parts.
The
Sanergy Fellows Program seeks accomplished, driven individuals who will make
substantive contributions to the organization.
