Naivasha based social enterprise Sanivation has been selected as the Kenyan finalist in the Chivas Regal’s The Venture competition. The venture is a $1Million fund that invests in extraordinary startups that are using business to create positive change.

Sanivation is one of 30 startups that will compete to receive $1 Million in funding in Los Angeles later in the year. They install toilets in homes for a monthly subscription fee; after which they collect the waste, treat it and recycle it into charcoal briquettes that are sold at an affordable price.

Ahead of the global final, the competitors will take part in the Chivas The Venture Accelerator Week hosted at the University of Oxford by The Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship.
