Financing your remediation project: pitch Deck for Investors

Issue

The Sanitation Problem We are trying to address the lack of access to proper sanitation facilities in low-income areas. This problem affects millions of people around the world, leading to various health risks and environmental problems. Let me tell you the story of Ajoa, a mother of three living in a rural community in Ghana.

Adjoa wakes up early every morning to fetch water from the stream and bring it home. She then walks a considerable distance to use the communal toilets shared by her entire community. The latrines are poorly maintained, without proper water supply, there is no privacy and it smells terrible. Adjoa is always worried about her children getting sick, as the dirty environment makes them prone to illnesses such as cholera and typhoid fever which spread rapidly through the already struggling community.

The sanitation problem we aim to solve is a widespread and crucial problem. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 4.2 billion people worldwide do not have access to safely managed sanitation. This means people are forced to use unsafe facilities or defecate in the open, which can lead to a range of environmental and health-related issues.

The current solution to this problem is often inadequate or non-existent. Many people in low-income areas use shared toilets, which can be in terrible condition due to poor maintenance. Others have to resort to open defecation, which leads to increased water contamination, leading to waterborne diseases that affect both humans and marine life.

The reason why this problem exists is mainly due to lack of infrastructure, poverty and lack of education in low income areas. Governments, nonprofits, and private companies have attempted to address this problem in the past, but progress has been slow.

Competition

Our competition consists of both established waste management companies and emerging startups in the sanitation industry. Waste Management Inc. is one of the largest waste management companies in the world, providing complete waste solutions to businesses and municipalities. Although they have the advantage of scale and infrastructure, they do not focus on the specific sanitation services we provide.

On the other hand, Souci is a prominent sanitation startup that operates in low-income areas, providing hygienic and affordable sanitation services. Although they offer innovative solutions, their aim is to focus on a different market segment and we do not consider them to be direct competitors.

What sets us apart from our competition is that our niche focus on remediation services for luxury residential and commercial properties.

Our Unique Selling Points (USPS) include:

• Specialization in luxury properties
• Highly qualified and professional sanitation technicians
• Advanced technology and equipment
• Customizable service plans to meet specific customer needs

We recognize that some waste management companies and emerging startups could potentially enter our market, but we believe our specialist focus on luxury remediation services will continue to set us apart.

Our research shows that our customers are most susceptible to being robbed by competitors who lack the level of professionalism, attention to detail and expertise that we offer. Therefore, we believe investing in marketing efforts that highlight our unique value proposition and focus on sanitizing luxury will help us attract and retain customers.
