Dear friends,
Those of you who have been with SOIL since the very beginning have watched our evolution as we have incorporated
social enterprise principles into the way we deliver SOIL’s regenerative service. We believe that this makes our delivery
more cost-efficient, improves our accountability to the families on our service, and ultimately enables SOIL to reach more
people in urgent need of sanitation. As we work to serve households in urban Haiti in the most effective way possible,
we are also ever cognizant that the lack of basic services in under-resourced communities will not be fully solved by the
same linear, market-based systems that created such dramatic global inequality and environmental devastation in the
first place. Addressing the roots of the global disparities will require a fundamental disruption of business as usual.
We will talk a lot about SOIL’s circular economy model in the pages that
follow, and when thinking about circular economies, I cannot help but
reflect about circularity more broadly in the face of the collective challenges
ahead of us all. What would our world look like if we invested more deeply
in cycling resources back into communities and ecosystems that have been
neglected and harmed? I hope that SOIL’s efforts can be a way to help
shift these imbalances that exist in our world, little by little, and inspire a
new way of thinking as we all work to effect the larger societal change our
world so desperately needs.
We dream of a day where basic services are available to everyone,
everywhere. And as we move tirelessly in the direction of that
north star, we need your ongoing support more than ever.
Thank you walking with us as we work with creativity and
determination towards a more just, resilient future for
people and the planet. I am proud of what we have been
able to achieve together this year and I am energized
by the possibilities of a brighter tomorrow.
With love from Haiti,
Sasha

Our Vision
SOIL was founded in 2006, inspired by the belief that
the most pervasive human rights abuse in the world is
poverty, and that a key to unlocking sustainable human
development is ensuring equitable and safe access to
basic services. SOIL’s affordable, regenerative sanitation
services employ ecological processes to transform a public
health crisis into an environmental solution.
By transforming human waste
from cities into organic compost,
SOIL’s circular economy solution
provides a global model for how to
simultaneously reduce the spread
of waterborne disease, restore
ecological nutrient cycles, preserve
precious natural resources, reduce
water pollution, increase food
security, and nurture resilience to
the climate crisis. SOIL is ultimately
committed to designing open-source
solutions that can be scaled and
replicated both in Haiti and around
the globe.

What is a
Circular Economy?
AN ALTERNATIVE CLOSED-LOOP ECONOMIC SYSTEM
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE
WASTE BY RELYING ON THE CONTINUAL RECYCLING
OF RESOURCES FOR SUSTAINED BENEFIT.
FOR SOIL, A CIRCULAR ECONOMY SYSTEM IS
ONE THAT REGENERATES ENVIRONMENTAL
AND SOCIOECONOMIC SYSTEMS INSTEAD OF
DEPLETING THEM. BY HARNESSING THE POWER
OF WASTE INSTEAD OF POLLUTING THE EARTH,
CIRCULAR ECONOMIC MODELS LIKE SOIL’S OFFER
THE POTENTIAL TO RESPOND TO SOME OF THE
WORLD’S BIGGEST CHALLENGES IN A WAY THAT
NURTURES HUMAN AND PLANETARY HEALTH.
A CIRCULAR ECONOMY SANITATION SOLUTION
SOIL IS PIONEERING A CIRCULAR ECONOMY SANITATION MODEL.
SOIL’s bold and innovative idea is one of the most promising global tests of
the revolutionary hypothesis that sanitation no longer needs to depend on
traditional linear models for waste disposal, but rather on the ecologically
beneficial reuse of human waste. With nature as our inspiration, SOIL
designed a sanitation system that provides access to a critical basic service
and captures numerous positive externalities.
On a global scale, with over four billion people lacking access to safelymanaged
sanitation, SOIL’s work spotlights the enormous potential of
circular economy design to demonstrate real progress across many global
sustainable development goals.

HOUSEHOLD CONTAINER-BASED TOILETS
For a small monthly user fee, SOIL serviced 1,100
EkoLakay household container-based toilets this
year, reaching more than 6,300 people with in-home
sanitation access.
WHAT WE DO : TOILETS
35
The SOIL team installed an average of 35
new toilets each month.
35%
Fewer than 35% of people living in urban
Haiti have access to a safe place to go to
the bathroom. This lack of safe sanitation
access has resulted in a major health crisis
as the nation continues to battle one of
the largest cholera epidemics in modern
history. SOIL provides families who would
otherwise have no access to sanitation
services with an affordable toilet option.
93%
93% of people with a SOIL EkoLakay

having access to sanitation prior to joining
the service.
“People are living better, and many no
longer suffer the same diseases that they
once had in their neighborhood”
- ROMEL TOUSSAINT, SOIL REGIONAL DIRECTOR
SOIL’s toilet was designed through
an iterative process that incorporated
community feedback at every point, and
the toilet is locally built, user-approved,
durable, easy to repair, and affordable.

WHAT WE DO : TREATMENT
COMPOSTING WASTE TREATMENT
Full containers of waste are emptied into compost bins at one of SOIL’s two
composting waste treatment facilities and covered with a thick layer of sugarcane
bagasse to begin the treatment process. All wastes are safely composted for six
to nine months in a carefully monitored process verified by the World Health
Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) to fully kill diseases like cholera and typhoid.
<1%
350
According to a recent study by the Inter-American Development Bank, less than
1% of human waste in Haiti is safely treated.
SOIL safely removed nearly 350 metric tons of waste from urban communities
for safe treatment.
“SOIL treats disease and provides
health and security.”
- FRANTZ JEAN-LOUIS, SOIL ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR
TRANSFORMATION
NUTRIENT-PACKED COMPOST
SOIL’s agricultural-grade compost is the only soil amendment available on the market
in Haiti that leads to year-over-year yield increases from just a single application and
proves consistent high quality. Compost also improves the drought resilience of the
soil and increases root growth.
80
.25M
SOIL’s composting process generated over 80 metric tons of lush, compost
uniquely suited to restore depleted soils in Haiti.
Thanks to a sale SOIL’s compost team made to a reforestation project in
northern Haiti, SOIL compost is helping to grow a quarter of a million trees
across the region.
This year, SOIL compost was used to nurture plant growth at farms,
neighborhood gardens, schools, community centers, stores, tree nurseries,
a government ministry, and more.
“There’s a myth that you must use synthetic
fertilizers, but if people could see what
you’re able to accomplish with the resources
already available in nature… they wouldn’t
use chemical fertilizers again.”

PRESERVING PRECIOUS
WATER RESOURCES
Only 3 percent of water on earth is drinkable and it
is being consumed faster than nature can replenish it.
Why use it to flush our waste? SOIL’s dry composting
toilets provide sanitation without draining precious water
resources in the face of increasing global water scarcity.
FARMS THAT USE SOIL’S COMPOST RETAIN
NEARLY TWICE THE WATER, INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY
OF IRRIGATION AND PROVIDING INCREASED RESILIENCE TO
PERIODS OF DROUGHTS AND FLOODING.
THE CARBON COVER MATERIAL THAT SERVES AS THE “FLUSH”
IN SOIL’S DRY TOILETS ALLOWS SOIL TO PROVIDE SANITATION
WITHOUT WASTING SCARCE WATER.
EVERY YEAR A SOIL TOILET USES 20,000 FEWER
GALLONS OF WATER THAN A FLUSH TOILET.

CLIMATE
MITIGATION
SOIL’s circular economy sanitation service has
significantly smaller greenhouse gas footprints than
traditional waste treatment facilities. Not only is
SOIL’s composting process emitting less greenhouse
gases into the atmosphere, but the valuable carbon
and nitrogen molecules that are retained in the
compost are returned to the soil to support carbon
sequestration.
IMPACT
NEW RESEARCH SHOWS THAT SOIL’S COMPOSTING
TREATMENT FACILITIES RELEASE 250 TIMES LESS METHANE
THAN TRADITIONAL TREATMENT PLANTS.
STRENGTHENING
FRONTLINE RESILIENCE
By rebuilding depleted soils across the country,
reducing erosion, fostering plant growth, and
increasing the soil’s absorptive capacity, SOIL is
nurturing resilience to the impacts of climate change
and severe weather in frontline communities.
DURABLE DESIGN: OUR DURABLE TOILETS ARE INTENTIONALLY
BUILT TO BE NATURAL DISASTER RESILIENT AND UNLIKE
TRADITIONAL SANITATION TECHNOLOGIES IN HAITI, HAVE
PROVEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO WITHSTAND FLOODING
EVENTS WITHOUT CONTAMINATING THE ENVIRONMENT.

IMPACT
PROTECTING AQUATIC
ECOSYSTEMS
SOIL’s circular sanitation model simultaneously
protects vulnerable aquatic ecosystems and
groundwater sources. Nutrients, such as nitrogen
and phosphorus, that would have otherwise leached
into the water, atmosphere, or landfills are instead
safely returned to the soil.
AFFORDABLE
The revenue generated through compost sales and
EkoLakay’s small monthly user fee helps to offset a
portion of SOIL’s costs.
While we depend on donations to complement
this earned income and ensure we can sustainably
reach high-risk communities and low-income families,
by taking a social enterprise approach SOIL is able
to deliver the highest impact per dollar and be
responsive to our customers.

LIVABLE URBAN
COMMUNITES
CLIMATE
POSITIVE
IMPACT
Against the backdrop of a rising global population and rapidly
growing urban areas, the challenge of meeting the sanitation
needs of dense urban communities is increasing. SOIL’s solution
is uniquely poised to reach these communities that previously had
no working solutions for safely-managed sanitation and nurture
resilient urban spaces.
CLIMATE POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES
There aren’t many countries on earth where there is a higher
vulnerability to the impacts of climate change than Haiti.
Widespread deforestation and lack of infrastructure mean that
even small rains in Haiti can turn into dangerous floods, especially
in low-lying coastal neighborhoods like the ones SOIL serves.
“SOIL IS ABLE TO REACH MANY PEOPLE IN COMMUNITIES WHERE OTHERS
RARELY WORK BECAUSE THEY ARE INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS”
BEVERLY PIERRE, PORT-AU-PRINCE EKOLAKAY DIRECTOR
SOIL’s model for regenerative sanitation provision in Haiti
offers dramatic potential for both mitigating the progression of
climate change and growing resilience to its impacts in frontline
communities that face the brunt of these impacts most acutely.

JOB
CREATION
By transforming waste into compost,
SOIL is recapturing valuable nutrients
and ensuring that those nutrients help
grow more abundant harvests. This
helps rural communities generate
more income and serves as a critical
intervention in a country where soils are
dangerously degraded and nearly half
of the population is malnourished.

a shared dream. Every
job SOIL creates ensures a
livelihood that supports positive
economic development in the
neighborhoods where we work.
“YOU CAN CONSIDER EVERYONE
ON THE STAFF AS A HERO
BECAUSE WHAT WE’RE DOING IS
VERY IMPORTANT, NOT JUST FOR
CAP-HAÏTIEN, BUT AS A MODEL
FOR ALL OF HAITI”
- JOASIL “TIDOU” LUCNY,
SOIL COMPOSTING SUPERVISOR

PUBLIC
HEALTH
SOIL provides vital sanitation services that keep
communities healthy and saves lives by preventing
the spread of waterborne disease. SOIL’s full-cycle
approach to sanitation services is currently the only
example in northern Haiti of a service that meets
the standards set by the Sustainable Development
Goals, which require safe management of the entire
sanitation value chain.
IMPACT
SAFETY AND
SECURITY
Along with affordability and improvements to health,
an increased sense of safety and security is one
of the biggest quality of life improvements families
report after joining SOIL’s EkoLakay service.
GENDER
EQUALITY
The health and economic burden of the sanitation
crisis falls most directly on women and girls. Women
and girls are the primary caretakers when a family
member falls sick from a waterborne disease. SOIL’s
household toilets provide a safe and private space
for women and girls to manage their menstruation
and sanitation needs.

THINKING BEYOND THE SEWER
“AS THIS UPSTART IDEA FINDS
ITS FOOTHOLD AMIDST HAITI’S
FORMIDABLE CHALLENGES,
SOIL IS HELPING PEOPLE
WORLDWIDE THINK OUTSIDE
THE SEWER.”
Chelsea Wald
in ReThink Magazine
GIVEN THE LACK OF SUITABLE TECHNOLOGIES FOR URBAN SANITATION, HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
OF PEOPLE LIVING IN URBAN COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD LACK ACCESS TO SANITATION
SERVICES. THE SITUATION IN URBAN HAITI IS MIRRORED GLOBALLY AS CITIES EXPAND FASTER THAN
INFRASTRUCTURE.
“THE TRADITIONAL APPROACH TO URBAN SANITATION, PREMISED ON EXTENDING SEWERAGE
NETWORKS AND BUILDING WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS, WILL NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO DELIVER
CITYWIDE SANITATION SERVICES FOR ALL.” - WORLD BANK
The traditional, linear economy
model for urban sanitation
is the sewer. Sewers require
an immense upfront capital
investment and a constant
supply of water and energy.
Given these challenges,
conventional sewer systems
are completely non-existent
in Haiti and they are unlikely
to become the prevailing
paradigm even in the longterm
for rapidly growing urban
communities globally.

THINKING BEYOND THE SEWER
Not only are we reaching people who didn’t previously have access to sanitation, by
developing a solution outside of the sewer, SOIL is ensuring the service is:
MORE AFFORDABLE:
SOIL’s service is
already one of the
most cost-effective
interventions in the
world and is poised
to cut the costs
further in the coming
years.
LOCALLY OPTIMAL:
SOIL’s design allows
the service to reach
densely packed
neighborhoods with
high water tables
and contested land
tenure in the near
term.
CLIMATE SMART:
SOIL’s toilets
are resilient to
flooding, preserve
scare resources,
and support
environmentally
beneficial resource
reuse.
FORWARD THINKING:
Unlike sewers, SOIL
toilets do not require
expensive water and
energy supplies to
operate.
SOIL’s revolutionary solution
represents a significant
breakthrough in the sanitation
field and opens the potential
of scaling rapidly in urban
communities lacking sanitation
services. By pairing powerful
ecological systems found in
nature with innovative service
delivery design models for the
rapidly growing cities of the
21st century, SOIL is bringing
the needs of the future to life
today.

HAITI
A Crisis in Haiti
The past year has been a particularly difficult one for Haiti with
daily life becoming increasingly challenging for the majority of
families in the face of rising inflation, extended fuel shortages,
and periods of protracted civil unrest driven in part by the
worsening economic conditions. In a country with far too many
families already struggling to meet their basic needs, it has been
a painful time.
Though it has often not been easy, thanks to SOIL’s courageous
team and our long-term dedication to designing a durable and
dynamic service, SOIL has remained open and operational
through protests, flooding, and price hikes. Our commitment is
our strength and we will continue to fight to provide critically
needed basic services in in Haiti no matter the challenges that lie
ahead and for as long as our services are needed.

SOIL invests in research
and development
initiatives designed to
further improve the
customer experience,
increase worker
satisfaction and safety,
deepen the environmental
restoration potential, and
reduce our net costs.

efforts and serve as
another stream of revenue.

outcomes of this
ongoing study soon!
Researchers continue
to investigate how to
improve the climate
outcomes of SOIL’s waste
transformation service,
which have already
shown to be a leading
solution for carbon
sequestration.

GLOBAL THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
While SOIL is first and foremost committed to expanding sanitation services to
support public health outcomes and positive economic development in Haiti, in
collaboration with our research partners around the world, we strive for nothing
less than to revolutionize the global approach to sanitation provision, proving a
scalable and replicable model with the potential to provide sanitation services
for the over 700 million people living in urban communities who currently
lack access. SOIL’s work provides an important case study for replication in
some of the most challenging urban environments globally and as a founding
member of the Container-Based Sanitation Alliance (CBSA), we invest
heavily in sharing lessons learned with practitioners around
the world.
