CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Building a Healthier Future: The Zerho Community Commitment

 

The Challenge: A Sanitation Crisis Holding Communities Back

 

In South Africa, a stark reality remains: over two million households lack access to safe, dignified sanitation. This isn't just an infrastructure gap; it's a crisis that undermines public health, environmental safety, and economic potential every single day.

​​

Our Solution: More Than a Toilet, A Catalyst for Change

​

The Zerho Toilet is a proven, waterless solution validated by the South African Water Research Commission (WRC) as a market-ready answer to this crisis. But for us, a toilet is just the beginning.

​​

Our corporate social responsibility is woven into our very business model. We believe that solving a community's challenges must be done with and by that community. Our approach is built on a foundation of Employment, Education, and Empowerment.

​​

How We Create Sustainable Impact:

​​

We don't just install toilets; we install opportunity. Our roll-out model is designed to build self-reliant communities.

​​

• Local Jobs & Skills Development: We train and employ community members for every step of the process—from local assembly and site preparation to installation and ongoing maintenance. This transfers vital skills and keeps investment within the community.

​

• Community Ownership: Through extensive engagement and education prior to installation, we ensure the community understands and values the system, leading to long-term adoption and care.

​

• Circular Economy: We train local entrepreneurs to manage the collection and composting of the safe, dried waste, turning a waste product into a valuable resource for agriculture and creating sustainable micro-enterprises.

 

The Zerho isn't just a product; it's a self-sustaining ecosystem of health, dignity, and economic activity.

 

Proven Readiness, Scalable Impact

 

Our model is not theoretical. We are already engaged with communities in the Tshwane Municipality, where the demand for our solution exceeds 500 units.

This gives us a live, scalable pilot site that demonstrates:

​​

• A Market-Ready Product: Technically validated by leading research institutions.
   

• A Solid Implementation Plan: A community-first model that ensures success and sustainability. 

​

• Transparent Governance: Meticulous management and reporting of all resources and funding.
