In the fictional African city of Bafini, 80% of residents have no access to a sewer connection, relying instead on toilets with pits or septic tanks. This creates a need for better faecal waste collection services, and a market opportunity for a smart entrepreneur.
You run a waste management business in Bafini, and have just decided to expand into faecal sludge management. You have a positive cash flow, which you will need to maintain.
Your business must impact positively on low levels of public health in Bafini, and work to get a sceptical city government onside. You cannot operate without their support!
It's a difficult balance.
