Lifesaving Sanitation Access Services
Household Sanitation Services
To address the urgent need for safe, dignified and improved sanitation options in urban Haiti, SOIL has pioneered an innovative household sanitation service, EkoLakay, in some of the most impoverished urban communities in Haiti. The EkoLakay service provides households with a container-based toilet and weekly waste collection service. Many of our clients have never had access to an in-home toilet before joining. Container-based toilets offer a safe and dignified sanitation option, particularly in communities where traditional sanitation options are not accessible, feasible or affordable.
EkoMobil Toilet Rentals Services
EkoMobil is SOIL’s affordable, high-quality, and ecologically beneficial portable toilet rental service that SOIL operates in Cap-Haitien. Just like SOIL’s household toilet service, EkoMobil is a container-based sanitation (CBS) solution, where wastes are collected and taken to SOIL’s waste treatment facility for safe treatment and transformation. SOIL is working to expand the EkoMobil service to generate revenue to support our household sanitation. Demand for EkoMobil has grown significantly, and SOIL is excited to be able to provide essential sanitation services at private events, construction sites, public festivals and more!
Waste Treatment and Transformation Services
Containment & Collection Services
SOIL`s service is designed so that waste from household toilets can be safely contained, sealed and transported. Every week, SOIL`s team of sanitation workers collect full containers of waste from households and exchange them with empty containers. SOIL uses modified vehicles fitted with cages (affectionately referred to as PoopMobiles) to transport the waste out of the densely populated neighborhoods to our centralized waste treatment facility. SOIL`s collection service prevents over 500 metric tons of waste from going out into the environment untreated each year; preventing the contamination of precious water resources and aquatic coastal ecosystems.
Waste Treatment Services
100% of the waste collected from our household, public and EkoMobil toilets is treated at our composting waste treatment facility. SOIL`s waste treatment turns a potential public health and environmental contamination threat into a climate-positive solution. SOIL`s team transforms waste using thermophilic, ecological methods into a usable end product: organic compost. Since building the first waste treatment facility in Haiti in 2009, SOIL has gone on to become one of the largest waste treatment operations in the country; processing over 500 Metric Tons of waste each year.
