We are a Peruvian non-profit organization that has been providing a sustainable and safe sanitation alternative to households in urban settlements without access to the public water and sewerage network in Lima, Peru, for the past 11 years.
We are revolutionizing the traditional sanitation approach to tackle one of our country’s greatest challenges.
In Peru, 1 in 4 people lack access to a safe toilet (INEI), negatively impacting their health and well-being.
50% of anemia cases are linked to the lack of access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (UN).
Families without access to water and sewerage spend an average of S/.790 more per year on water than those with access (SUNASS).
The absence of water and sanitation services adversely affects people’s learning outcomes and productivity (World Bank, 2023).
We are pioneers in South America in implementing Container-Based Sanitation (CBS), a safe, sustainable, and effective alternative for areas with complex geography, scarce water resources, and high population density.
It has been recognized by the UN as safe sanitation.
It is a proven and effective solution for urban areas globally.
It does not utilize critical resources like water.
It is relevant in the context of climate change and disaster risk.
Our work contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Container-Based Sanitation (CBS) is an effective, scalable, and rapidly implementable solution that should be considered in the national strategy for universal sanitation coverage.
