SATO toilets are significantly improving sanitation and hygiene in Ethiopia. Since 2017, nearly 250,000 SATO units have been shipped across nine regions, benefiting 9.2 million people. Key projects include:
- Through the partnership with IGA, our national importer, we make SATO products available across the country.
- With Make a Splash!, our shared-value partnership with UNICEF, we are implementing market-based projects that foster community empowerment and boost the local economy.
- SATO’s success is further driven by a network of over 400 trained artisans and 170 trade outlets.
- Through COWASH, SATO products are being promoted and adopted by last mile communities thanks to innovative financing solutions.
