By 2050, the Word Economic Forum predicts that over 1.3 billion people in Africa will call a city home. As urban areas continue to grow, the burden on already struggling sanitation systems will become much too heavy. As newcomers arrive in already crowded urban areas, they often settle in informal settlements that lack access to basic services like sanitation, negatively impacting the people living there.
