Sanergy is a social venture that builds a sustainable sanitation network throughout Nairobi's slums, by creating a network of local entrepreneurs who run small-scale sanitation centers. We provide affordable, accessible and hygienic sanitation services to individuals, thereby making a valuable contribution to their communities. We collect and convert the waste from our network of toilets into valuable by-products such as fertilizer and energy.
