Company
Sanitation and Health Rights in India (SHRI)
Toilet converts poop to clean water and methane
We built a toilet that turns human waste into methane gas used to power a water filtration system. This system produces clean drinking water, which we sell back into the communities to fund ongoing operation. It tackles open defecation and health inequities in rural India directly.
We live both in Boston, MA, and Bihar, India. After YC, the company would continue operating primarily out of Boston and India.
Being based in Boston allows us to access technical, financial, and operational resources. Our work in Bihar connects us closely to the communities using the product, ensuring design and impact stay aligned.
