SOIL Embraces Mobile Banking for Sanitation Service Payments

For a small monthly fee SOIL’s growing social business, EkoLakay, provides over 1,000 households in Haiti with ecological sanitation (EcoSan) toilets and waste treatment services. And, until recently, that meant that we visited all 1,000+ homes on the EkoLakay service every single month to collect their monthly service fee. As you can imagine, this door-to-door payment collection effort was time consuming and costly for SOIL and often inconvenient for clients. We are therefore delighted to announce that SOIL’s EkoLakay team has introduced mobile payments into the EkoLakay service. Using MonCash, the mobile banking platform offered by Haiti�...

Samba for SOIL

In the wake of Hurricane Matthew, many dear friends reached out to SOIL about the best way to help, and we were so honored to see support pour in from all corners of the globe. Several of our friends even got creative in raising funds for hurricane relief - including our dear friend Berta from the Arco Iris Samba Band in Cambridge, England. The Arco Iris Samba band came together to play throughout Cambridge and raise funds for SOIL's hurricane relief effort. Check out a video of their performance and dance along if the mood strikes. Sincere thanks to the Arco Iris Samba Band - what a wonderful performance! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oy5g3...

SOIL Logo Crosses the Globe

As we shared a few months ago, SOIL friends and supporters Drew and Scott Gurian have spent the past twelve weeks accomplishing an impressive and unique feat: driving 11,000 miles through 19 countries in a tiny car. They were participating in an annual event called the Mongol Rally, and at SOIL we were honored to journey with them on the side of that very tiny car. The Gurian brothers were rallying not just for the adventure, but also to show their support for SOIL and fundraise along the way. Check out their podcast about why they chose to support SOIL, and listen to other episodes to learn more about their adventures during the Mongol Rally. Last ...

Hesperian Health Guides Release Valuable Creole Language Resources

Our dear friends at Hesperian Health Guides (an organization working to create and disseminate health resources on the ground that are translated into local languages) have recently translated their seminal work, called "Where There Is No Doctor" into Haitian Creole ("Kote ki pa gen Doktè"). At SOIL we are incredibly pleased to share the news of this work, and also figured it's a great time to remind our friends about another great resource that Hesperian Health Guides and SOIL collaborated on: a sanitation guide called "Sanitation and Cleanliness for a Healthy Environment" that SOIL translated into Creole "Asenismen ak pwopwete pou yon anviwonman ...
