In Nakivale Refugee Camp, Uganda, the sanitation crisis is escalating: Since January 2025, more than 8,000 people fleeing violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo have arrived. With only 2 out of 10 households having access to a toilet, the already overstretched infrastructure is at its breaking point.

The consequences are severe: open defecation leads to outbreaks of diarrhea, cholera, and other infections, putting women and children at highest risk. Together with our partner organization Unidos, we are currently building safe, dry compost toilets – as part of a regenerative solution for public health, dignity, and ecosystem restoration.

Compost toilets like Ecosan and Arboloo are more than just a hygienic alternative. They safely transform waste into nutrient-rich compost, creating circular systems that benefit people and planet.
