More than just a toilet The Sanir Community Sanitation Centres (CSC) are an attempt to change the current face of sanitation solutions in a society where going to the toilet is linked to a range of negative associations. The CSC provides people with a safe, private, affordable and hygienic toilet experience within the familiar boundaries of their own community. Beyond a toilet, the CSC serves as a community centre; an attractive place where people come together and enjoy additional services.
