A 2015/16 study instituted by the WRC, highlighted a backlog of two million sanitation installations which currently exists in South Africa.
This study revealed that the Zerho Toilet is one of nine waterless and low-water Sanitation Solutions 'passed' as market-ready by the South African Water Research Commission (WRC) during 2015. See the document below.
​
The Zerho Business Model is based on Involvement in-, 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 focussed on the longer term, and therefore includes decentralised (local) Assembly of the Zerho; and the Preparation of Installation Sites, Installation, Maintenance and Training of Users, being done Sustainably by the community members themselves.
​
The Zerho Toilet is therefore truly the Gift that keeps on giving.
​
We've been working with a number of Communities in the Tshwane Municipality area that already understand the commitment required; and where the requirement for Waterless Sanitation already exceed 500 units.
​
Therefore: We have a pilot site scaleable to 5000 homes; we have a market-ready product; we have a solid implementation plan; we have transparent governance of funding.
​
You can be a part of the solution!
