Problem: Have you ever imagined drinking from your poop! irritating right? I bet it is! However, this is the situation facing 96.3% of households in Nigeria drinking water contaminated from local/conventional septic tank whose content goes into the nearby rivers, well and boreholes contaminated by 10 thousand viruses from feces with polluting substances such as Escherichia coli (E.coli). and as a result of this 117,000 children die annually due to water illness related diseases the highest number of any nation. 2.1 billion people, worldwide, lack access to safe, readily available water at home and 4.5 billion people lack safely managed sanitation and Climate change is adding to the pressure according to UNICEF. In some location such as Waterlogged areas due to the water coming from the ground, constantly fill up the septic tank this household at least evacuate their septic at lists once a year, our finding shows that this waste is been disposed off in ocean, polluting the ocean limiting biodiversity. It cost about 800 - 1.3 million naira, per household to build a septic tank in dry and water-logged areas in Nigeria and yet, about 100 thousand naira is spent to evacuate the waste yearly.

Unique Selling Point: What people are doing is adopting Septic tanks popularly called soak-away in developing communities killing people most especially the children under the age of 5; this is due to the bricks been used in building the septic tank, over time it shrinks out contaminated water at the base of the septic tank. This contents goes into the ground and mix up with the nearby wells and boreholes causing water-illness related issues. Secondly, when we defecate, the diseases in the body comes out with the defecate and the conventional septic tanks servers as a breeding ground for these pathogens so they multiply, most part of Nigeria and developing countries are susceptible to flood as a result of climate change, when it floods it goes into the septic tank and brings out these pathogens which are spreading disease into the communities reducing their wellbeing making them spend more on health related issue and also subjecting this communities to poverty. Lastly, the high price of building septic tank and it low efficiency with a reoccurring yearly expense of evacuating septic tank also creating awful odor. We are solving three major problems which are, the high price of building septic with low efficiency, disease outbreak during flood and water contamination in developing countries across the world. With the adoption of our novel Loop-Box will help solve this problems, our solution is eco-friendly product that uses simple anaerobic biotech principle to breakdown the organic waste in an airtight condition into biogas, improving access to quality clean water in this communities. Loop box solution is buried into the ground just as the septic tank, the loop Box is built from fiber glass material into a digester, which makes water impenetrable helping to solve ground water contamination. More so, The Loop box treats & breakdown human excrement into gas for cooking, water heating or power bulbs, and it by-product is an odorless ecofriendly water and a purifier that helps clean the water into reusable water. The loop box is air-tight with a controlled temperature that kills all the harmful pathogens causing diseases that get into the system this will help to solve disease outbreak as a result of using conventional /local septic tanks. Lastly, Loop-Box is an Affordable solution that detects early disease from poop using our proprietary AI App, our solution offers an AI App solution to our clients that leverages cloud AI and ML capabilities to help users develop personal health insights from data collected from their poop to make predictive models and get a precise view of their health and this will help improve the quality of life and wellbeing of themselves and their loved ones (children’s, old parent, etc). .
