Project Proposal

I'll invest the funds in my Pest and Vermin control business by Purchasing more knapsack sprayers for my youth team members.

At Ecofirm Sanitation, we are responsible for creating social impacts through Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) value chain business opportunities. The business model targets out-of-school youths and local artisans whom we train on WASH business start-ups including Pest and Vermin control to promote climate resilience among our community members against the raging effects of climate change.

Through working with us, we equip local artisans with modern techniques for building climate-resilient sanitation systems hence promoting sustainability, we capacity built local youths on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in households, schools, and other institutions to help control and eradicate disease vectors. This model earns them a living even as it supports vector-borne disease prevention including neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) which have been exacerbated by the effects of climate change in our communities.
