Mshila Sio: Addressing Severe Lack of Wastewater Treatment in Developing Countries
Mshila: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! We are addressing the severe lack of wastewater treatment in developing countries. Conventional approaches are simply not working, meaning over 90% of our effluent is discharged entirely untreated. Through our work, our communities are able to take charge of their wastewater, treat it, and produce long-lasting benefits for the environment, society, and economy. We accomplish this by bringing down the cost of building and maintaining wastewater treatment plants and by transforming what is typically a taxing, unpleasant, and untidy process into beautiful green spaces through dignified work.
