A GROWING PORTFOLIO THAT ADDRESSES HUMANITARIAN NEEDS
Today, one in 33 people worldwide needs humanitarian assistance or protection. This creates new sanitation and hygiene challenges, and increases the spread of preventable illnesses, including diarrhoea – one of the most common causes of child mortality in refugee camps.
Leveraging SATO’s expertise in product development, innovation, we recently launched the SATO Slab – an easy-to-transport, sturdy and easy-to-clean platform that quickly creates a safe and pleasant toilet experience. It is designed to facilitate the rapid and affordable construction of strong, sturdy toilets, helping to combat pressures exerted by excessive use of a small number of toilet facilities.
