THE URBAN SANITATION CHALLENGE

Cities are growing faster than ever. Currently, 60 million new residents move to urban areas every year. 25% live in slums, amounting to 1 billion people with inadequate housing and limited access to basic services. This number is expected to double to 2 billion by 2030. In Kenya, at current rates, complete sanitation coverage will take 150 years – loss of productivity due to illness costs the country 2% of its GDP every year. Sanergy’s non-sewered sanitation solutions costs 5 times cheaper than sewers.
