Overview

Mission

SOIL is combatting the sanitation crisis in Haiti by expanding access to dignified and safely managed sanitation. By offering a container based toilet and composting waste treatment, SOIL is working to create a revolutionary social business model for providing access to safe, dignified sanitation that produces rich, organic compost as a natural resource for Haiti's badly depleted soils, while also creating economic opportunities in some of the world's most under-resourced communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Research - soil is committed to ensuring that the implementation of sanitation services is guided by rigorous evidence-based research. Soil has a dedicated research department whose purpose is to evaluate ongoing programming to ensure that soil's services are cost effective, equitable and environmentally sound. It is the role of the research department to liaise to enhance the impact of soil's core mission. The research department is tasked with disseminating peer-reviewed publications as a method for sharing lessons learned with other implementers, promoting further scientific enquiry into effective sanitation and waste treatment technologies, and contributing to the global sectoral dialogue around sanitation provision.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 92% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
