Job Vacancy: Project Coordinator - BSF
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 800 active Fresh Life Toilets run by over 400 Fresh Life Operators.
