Mr. Harun Opanda gives his remarks during the courtesy call at DIAL.
The Mother Planet Technologies CEO, whose modern flushing pit latrine innovation is a solution to water wastage in Kenya, has worked on this project since 2011. He carried out his pilot project at Ingotse High School and has since constructed several modern flushing pit latrines in a number of schools across the country.
This innovation has definitely transformed the community, and there is no doubt that with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in place, the two (2) institutions will have a bigger impact on the community.
