Sato Uganda has launched the Sato I- Trap toilet connection system to help tackle challenges, especially in communities facing specific challenges with poor sanitation and hygiene infrastructure.
The SATO I-Trap can connect to an offset pit or septic system and the V-Trap allows workers to seamlessly direct human waste to separate pits.
This means that while one pit undergoes treatment and emptying, another can be allowed to fill up – keeping the vital system in non-stop use.
Speaking during the launch in Kampala, Timothy Kayondo, the team leader at Sato Uganda said the new product offers a cleaner, safer, and more accessible sanitation experience for families, especially women and children.
“Our philosophy is to innovate with the end user in mind whilst driving the global sustainability agenda. The Sato I-Trap toilet connection system is designed to improve sanitation standards across Uganda, offering numerous benefits that set it apart from conventional toilet systems,” Kayondo said.
“ The product has an advanced design that minimizes odors and effectively keeps flies and other vectors away, ensuring a more hygienic environment, it is cost-effective, easy to install, and maintain, and is built to last, reduces the security risks associated with distant latrines and can be easily adapted to conventional porcelain toilet systems.”
He noted that in order to support the new e product, Sato Uganda has started conducting product demonstrations and training sessions for masons and plumbers across the country to equip professionals with the necessary knowledge to provide excellent support to customers.
“This innovation, the SATO I-Trap Toilet connection system supports Sustainable Development Goal 6.2, which aims to achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation by 2030, with special attention to the needs of women, girls, and those in vulnerable situations.”
