What We Do
About Us
MN-Environmental Services (MN) was founded in 2008 as a social enterprise to address the problem of poor access to adequate sanitation which has resulted in the practice of open defecation.
Our vision is to establish MN at the forefront of providing adequate sanitation within the reach of the underserved, through creative and innovative solutions to bring an end to poor sanitation and hygiene practices.
Our Mission is committed to bringing about behaviour change through information, Education and Communication (IEC) interventions that improve the environment and promote safe sanitary and hygiene practices.
MN’s solution is the construction and management of modern, functional and culturally sensitive public toilets with showers in high density locations to ensure maximum social impact.
