FABLAB NAIROBI

This summer I worked in Kenya within a group of MIT and University of Nairobi students to design and construct two pilots of a low-cost sanitation solution (toilet) for the settlements around Nairobi. The pilot construction can be largely accredited to our use of the FabLab at the University, which resulted in a product that we can iterate and reproduce moving forward.

The plug then traveled to Fiberglass Specialists to get our castable fiberglass mold.

We were able to cast and install 2 working units in the settlements around Nairobi.
