Project Coordinator, Bauchi Nigeria at Sanivation

About SanivationIn the developing world, over 4000 children die daily from diarrheal diseases caused by lack of basic sanitation. While less dire, in the developed world the prohibitive cost of infrastructure leads many rural users to resort to a common pit latrine. It doesn’t have to be this way. Sanivation seeks to change the face of world sanitation. Sanivation is a social enterprise dedicated to improving the overall dignity, health, and environment of urbanizing communities in East Africa through delivering clean, safe, and efficient sanitation services. Our Model Urbanizing communities Deploying privatized utility branches In urbanizing communities we install modern container-based toilets in people’s homes for free and charge a small monthly fee to service them. Then, instead of dumping the waste, we transform it into a clean burning alternative to charcoal. Our dependable, user-focused, and vertically integrated sanitation services address the full sanitation value chain and allow families living in urbanizing communities throughout East Africa to live a modern and healthy life. Refugee camps Custom design, build and training services We license our model to refugee camps to help meet the demand for rapidly and locally deployable sanitation services. We work with implementing partners to design, build, and train local staff and refugees on operating improved sanitation services that meet the demands of camp residents.
