  Chief executive officer

  As CEO of Sulabh International South Africa, I lead initiatives to address the sanitation challenges faced by poor communities at their homes, schools and in public spaces. Our purpose is to provide dignity through sanitation. Social Justice is about sharing the benefits and burdens of society. In unequal societies the poor receive the bulk of the burden and the rich enjoy the benefits. This is most prevalent in the sanitation sector, where a middle-class family has three toilets in their home and a poor family in an informal (slum, squatter) settlement shares one toilet with five families.
