In the charity's own words
Our vision is a world where access to dignified, safe and affordable sanitation is no longer out of reach for families and communities in dense urban areas. To support, this we aim to support greater quality and availability of container based sanitation (CBS) services through researching, sharing, and promoting CBS as a cost effective, climate-smart solution to the urban sanitation crisis.
