Safisana’s mission

Safisana is a social enterprise committed to improving climate resilience and solving waste, sanitation, and energy-related issues in urban and peri-urban communities in Africa’s rapidly growing economies. Safisana’s closed-loop recycling plant design effectively treats organic and fecal waste and converts these waste streams into valuable outputs such as biogas, electricity, and organic fertilizer.
