Background and Need
South Africa continues to face significant sanitation challenges in informal settlements, where traditional toilets are often unclean and degrading. Children, women, and the elderly suffer most due to poor hygiene and exposure to waste. There is a clear need for a simple, low-maintenance system that can restore dignity while improving health outcomes.
Our Innovative Solution
The Auto-Conceal Toilet Seat Cover uses a mechanical pressure plate system that opens a split cover when a person sits and automatically closes it when they stand. It is: - Fully mechanical (no electricity required) - Durable and cost-effective - Easy to install and maintain
