The Reality of
Sanitation in Africa
Many communities on the African continent continue to rely on outdated sanitation systems like pit latrines and septic tanks. These systems are, and will remain, part of daily life for many years to come, regardless of many efforts to eradicate pit latrines and replace them with adequate sanitation systems.
​
In the meantime, human solids and urine, specifically faeces, pose several risks to the environment and to people in the community. These include increased health risks due to inadequate waste management, environmental pollution and contamination of groundwater, unpleasant odours, loss of quality of life, and loss of human dignity.

Supporting Long-Term Goals While Solving Today’s Problem
Dr Waterloo addresses the specific and immediate need to deal with human faeces in the current situation.
Everyone involved in sanitation in Africa realises the massive challenges that face governments and NGOs in establishing and building sustainable sanitation systems. The need to replace pit latrines and bucket systems is real and remains a long-term goal for many countries.
Money, resources and viable systems will remain a challenge for many years to come. These projects are long-term, and the pace of building them is also long-term.
We support the long-term goals of the WHO and governments to eradicate these unhygienic circumstances affecting millions of people. We are also aware that some of these sanitation goals, such as 2035 targets, are still far away, and communities need solutions to deal with current day-to-day poor sanitation, specifically untreated human faeces.
