Summary of Business Plan

Poverty in great majority of African countries is continuously reaching new highs and between 1980 and 2011 it has increased from 215 million to an astounding figure of 350 million. Health factor is realized the most important vector causing this poverty increase. Diseases related to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene are found to be most prominent entity for this precarious situation while Sanitation is particularly considered the Global Crisis of the present day since it is far behind the targeted goals. Sub-Saharan Africais the highest vulnerable region to this crisis when compared to the rest of the world and it is fitting that Sanitec is all set to operate in this region. Access to facilities such as clean water, proper sanitation and pollution free indoor environment are beyond these poor peoples imagination and affordability. They toil in lingering sickness by drinking polluted water, use primitive toilets or going for open defecation and living in suffocating indoor environment, all these together causing them hard to find a way out of poverty. Several international organizations are working on to help out these poor by flooding millions and millions of Dollars, but are invariably ending up with humiliating failures to achieve the targeted goals even after adopting several modes of approaches in the last two decades almost. The reason for these failures is due to the lack of identification of vital parameters and synchronizing them to work together to achieve the goals. More precisely so much of emphasis

is paid only on software aspects and almost zero on the hardware side such as Sanitec initiative have caused these failures. The obvious solution to health improvement and poverty alleviation is that these poor people should have access to proper, sustainable and affordable Water, Sanitation and Hygiene facilities in a combined package and for which there are required effective and innovative instruments that are capable making revolution to take these facilities to the poor within the reach of their affordability. Sanitec has such a capability to be the innovative instrument through its concepts, products and massive production capacity that can turn the corner and enable achieving the health goals of MDGs in a measure responding way to effect at least eight of the most poverty stricken nations of Africa. Starting in 2005 as a private organization in Madagascar, the reason why and how Sanitec is the rarest and first of its kind private noble initiative is that it has dedicated entire time of three years, considerable amount of money in R&D and piloting specifically on social products meant for water, sanitation and hygiene. And this was the base to conceive and initiate a full scale production unit in 2008. Sanitec, with project cost of little more than 500,000 USD has now shaped up and ready for production, presently capable of producing as many as 300 units per day and on continuous basis throughout the year. This astonishingly innovative project pertaining to WASH sector is again a remarkable entity that it is designed to deliver that are required for improving water, sanitation and hygiene facilities to the poor all under one umbrella. Sanitecs products are unique, innovative and also first of their kind; all of them are in the process of patent claim. The products are surprisingly affordable to the poor and the selling costs of products are one third in most of the cases and half in some when compared to their imported counterparts, this is again due to Sanitecs innovative and location based production technologies. Sanitecs Mission is to become the first model to prove to the world how effectively we can achieve the targeted goals of MDGs in health sector in the African region and enable replication of this socially focused and sustainable model to the other parts of the world, since according to the estimated calculations there is required a several dozens of such (as Sanitec) initiatives to challenge poverty and achieve the MDGs in the above said targeted regions alone! In the wake of massive awareness programs by several international organizations in this sector, the social market potential is expected to drastically increase in the coming years. Global Sanitation Funds has already started disbursing at least a minimum of USD 5,000,000 in each of the African countries such as Madagascar, Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Malawi, Togo, Burkina Faso etc. for the purpose of creating awareness and developing social market infrastructures. Other major players in the sector such as UNICEF, USAID, EU, CRS, WaterAid are also recently very active in the field contributing millions of Dollars for the same purpose. The estimated market for these products combined together in the above targeted countries is around 10kk, the figure arrived from the key objectives of the above said international organizations.

Building on the effective social marketing activities (awareness and education on water & sanitation) deployed by these international organizations and its own promotional plan, Sanitec will develop a distribution strategy through partnerships with the executing agencies appointed by them. To grasp this potential Sanitec is now ready for full-scale production & commercialization phase. What we need now a socially focused partner and funding organization to work with us to enable a massive mobilization to take these innovative and affordable products to the reach of poor in the targeted regions in the initial phase. Standardization of product patterns, technical and production competencies are already mastered, well trained personnel totaling to 70 are in the permanent roll and 50% of them are women and marketing and sales expertise which so far is severely lacking will shortly be added via external recruitment. Upon its financial plan, Sanitec will reach a healthy level of profitability to sustain itself and can earn sufficiently to replicate this model to other most needed regions. Finally, the last but not the least, Sanitecis a very special and much more valuable project that will not only contribute to the economic development of the region as an industry such as bringing export revenue and providing employment opportunity to hundreds of local population directly and many more hundreds indirectly but also much more importantly address*to the worlds most demanding issues of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene needs of poverty alleviation to achieve our Millennium Development Goals. *It is wonderful to mention, that with the present capacity of production Sanitec is capable of addressing 100k of poor families with affordable and proper Water, Sanitation and Hygiene facilities every year and that too by minimizing the financial burden of these poor over more than 2 million USD every year on affordability alone unlike the other products in the market and this is specifically due to innovations of Sanitec.
