Sanivation is a private service provider based in Naivasha looking to improve the overall health, dignity, and environment of the local area. Sanivation designs, constructs and operates waste processing factories that produce and sell affordable, and environmentally sustainable fuels. At these factories, they collect two abundant waste streams to make our fuels: fecal sludge and biomass residues. They treat the fecal sludge using our patent-pending technologies that use solar-thermal energy and combine it with other waste streams to transform it into an eco-friendly fuel. With this model, they are spreading sanitation services and replacing harmful traditional fuels.
