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
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 750 Fresh Life Toilets to a network of more than 350 Fresh Life Operators. We have collected and converted over 9,000 tons of waste. At the same time, we have built a team of over 250 people.
