Vacancy: School WASH Program Fellow
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.
We launched our first toilet in November 2011, and we now have a network of
over 600 active Fresh Life Toilets run by over 300 Fresh Life Operators.
We have collected and converted over
7,800 tons of waste. At the same time, we have built a team of over 250
people.
For our work, we have been recognized
by Fast Company as one of the 10 Most Innovative Companies in the World Doing
Social Good and one of the 10 Best Companies in Africa.
We are an increasingly sophisticated,
highly intricate organization with many moving parts.
The Sanergy Fellows Program seeks
accomplished, driven individuals who will make substantive contributions to the
organization.
