WATERLESS SANITATION
A 2015/16 study instituted by the Water Research Commission highlighted a backlog of two million sanitation installations currently existing in South Africa.
​
This study revealed that the Zerho Toilet is one of nine waterless and low-water sanitation solutions deemed market-ready by the South African Water Research Commission (WRC) in 2015.
​
The Zerho Business Model is based on the involvement and upliftment of communities through employment, education, and skills transfer.
​
This is achieved through community intervention prior to roll-out, thereby ensuring sustainability. Zerho's involvement in any community is focused on the long term and therefore includes decentralized (local) assembly of the Zerho, preparation of installation sites, installation, maintenance, and training of users, all conducted sustainably by the community members themselves.
​
The Zerho Toilet is, therefore, truly the gift that keeps on giving.
​
We've been working with several communities in the Tshwane Municipality area that already understand the commitment required and where the requirement for waterless sanitation already exceeds 500 units.
​
Therefore, we have a pilot site scalable to 500 homes; we have a market-ready product; we have a solid implementation plan; and we have transparent governance of funding.
You can be a part of the solution!
