About Sanergy
Sanergy is an award-winning social venture based in Nairobi, Kenya. We undertake three exciting lines of work:
We
provide safe, sustainable sanitation services to residents living in
urban informal settlements of Nairobi and Kisumu using end-to-end
non-sewered sanitation solutions. Watch here!
We
implement a circular economy model to sustainably manage sanitation
and organic waste generated in cities. Using technologies developed
in-house, we upcycle the waste into insect-based protein for animal
feed, organic fertilizer, and biomass fuel. We operate the largest
organics recycling plant in East Africa. Watch here!
We
partner with cities to develop and deliver safe sanitation and waste
management for urban residents. Using a systematic methodology, we match
cities’ sanitation and waste management needs with technology and
service delivery models, and then offer clear guidance on the steps that
governments, funders, service providers and technology developers can
take to develop and implement integrated service delivery systems.
Operational
since 2011, Sanergy serves over 140,000 urban residents with safe
sanitation services every day. Sanergy collects and treats over 12,000T
of waste per year, and successfully sells its agricultural end-products
to farmers in over 20 counties in Kenya, who see improved yields and
increased incomes. At the same time, we have built a team of over 400
employees from diverse backgrounds who solve diverse problems, but all
embody the drive, creativity, teamwork, and passion that make us achieve
our goals. For our work, we have been recognized by the Gates
Foundation as one of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals accelerator;
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, and the
Food Planet Prize for our innovative circular economy approach.
