Toilets for People is a social enterprise based in Staten Island, New York, that designs, manufactures and markets affordable, portable family-scale composting toilets for NGO partners working to improve sanitation in developing regions. The company emphasizes collaboration with local communities and on-the-ground non-profit organizations to ensure products meet users’ needs while using appropriate technology and locally sourced materials to enhance durability, safety, and affordability. Its target customers are development-focused organizations seeking lasting sanitation solutions, especially in flood-prone and waterlogged areas where traditional pit latrines or flush toilets may fail, addressing the health burdens associated with inadequate sanitation. Operating within the international trade and development sector, the organization situates itself as a supplier of durable, maintainable sanitation technology deployed through partnerships, with a small team and a focus on long-term impact rather than short-term aid. A recent development highlights ongoing collaboration with field partners to deliver and support sanitation solutions in the communities served.
