Research & Development Internship
Company Overview
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 franchise the
toilets to community residents, who run them as commercial toilets; landlords,
who offer them as a value-added service to their tenants; and schools, to
ensure children always have access to a safe sanitation option. 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.
