Water Solutions, Hygiene Education, and More

SOSNPO is dedicated to providing clean water, promoting hygiene, and creating jobs in underserved communities. We work tirelessly to ensure that everyone has access to essential resources, driving progress toward a more sustainable and equitable world.

Water​

7.5% of South Africa’s water supply systems are in poor and/or critical condition. SOSNPO provides alternative water sources to schools and water scarce communities by supplying non-potable water, transporting it to installed tanks, and managing access for non-drinking uses. SOSNPO improves water provision through rainwater harvesting systems in informal communities and schools, ensuring continuity of education and supporting micro-businesses. Our focus on non-potable water solutions promotes water security in these areas. We are dedicated to providing potable water to businesses and schools facing challenges, while ensuring safe drinking water for underprivileged communities.

hygiene

Hygiene is crucial for health, preventing disease, and improving cleanliness. SOSNPO works to improve hygiene in underprivileged communities by installing handwashing stations in schools and high traffic areas like taxi ranks. We focus on sustainable initiatives that combine infrastructure with hygiene education, including handwashing facilities and educational sessions led by certified professionals. Our efforts also extend to oral care, providing teeth brushing demonstrations and distributing toothpaste and toothbrushes. SOSNPO is committed to ending the stigma around menstrual health and addressing period poverty by educating and implementing solutions.

Sanitation

Sanitation encompasses practices and systems that prevent the spread of diseases and protect public health.

In South Africa, pit toilets are still utilised by 21% of public schools. The state of school toilets in South Africa is substandard.

SOSNPO is committed to eradicating pit toilets across South Africa and upgrading existing toilet facilities.
