If you have been in the outskirts of major urban areas, where indoor plumbing or sufficient running water is not available, definitely you are well aware of the health hazard posed to the community as well as the surrounding environment. Actually, the community is at high risk of outbreak of diseases and infections. The environment is filthy and uncomfortable for human life. This should be what Isabel Medem – 29 had in mind when developing her X-Runner/Sanisol social entrepreneurship project. Isabel Medem – 29 came up with a very brilliant idea to provide clean sanitation system in outskirts of the major cities to address the critical lack of indoor plumbing and running water. This is absolutely a very brilliant social innovation. X-Runner/Sanisol provides dry portable toilets which are regularly replaced to the families in urban areas where sanitation system is a major challenge. These services are not only accessible and affordable but also create a positive impact to the surrounding environment. The waste collected is composed and used economical in production of fertilizer.
This is very amazing. If you have ever heard of seeing beyond where other can see or thinking outside the box, then Isabel Medem – 29 should be your case study. Actually, who else could have thought of that if not Isabel Medem – 29? Well, someone else might have come with similar project if not exactly this one for this Forbes under thirty years social entrepreneur of the year 2015, but the question is after how long? A decade! Right, it is hard to tell but definitely would have taken quite long time. The challenge Isabel Medem – 29 is tacking is real. I cannot imagine how life would be in a community with over two million humans without proper sanitation system. I believe this should be so disgusting and economical unfavorable to the government as well as the residents. Really, how much the government would be spending on these families on health and environmental facts? Definitely, this should be big amounts. Isabel Medem – 29 has not only eased the life of people in the outskirts of the big cities but also the pressure on the limited resources of the nation. This is really amazing. Very amazing indeed!
We have solutions to our challenges. The solutions to most of the social problems we go through are with us. But we must change on how we think and perceive things. Actually, if one person can bring such a great impact to the society and the world at large, how life would be if we all think in this line of Isabel Medem – 29? Would poverty, political wars, racial discriminations, unemployment and many other social issues be a bother to us? Definitely not! I categorically say NO. We are the witches of our own selves by our own laziness. We are afraid of thinking on solutions to our problems which have now become the painful thorn in the economy of many nations. Well, possibly we lacked someone to open up our minds. If that was the case, then Isabel Medem – 29 has done so absolutely well. Let’s see you then.
