Several years ago, a fierce fire razed down more than 100 houses in Nairobi’s Mukuru slums, rendering many dwellers homeless. Surprisingly, in the midst of all the ensuing debris stood two toilets that had withstood the raging fire. This spectacle drew the curiosity of two innovators, Winnie Gitau and Simon Dixon.
The toilets had been constructed by Sanergy/Freshlife, a company that Mr Dixon was working for, to improve sanitation in slums.
