Deployed tiger-worm toilet technology at Jewi refugee camp in Ethiopia with UNHCR
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
Gates Foundation and UNHCR piloted tiger-worm toilet technology — a biological waste treatment system using composting worms — at Jewi refugee camp in Ethiopia, which houses tens of thousands of South Sudanese refugees. The 'waste-to-value' approach decomposed faecal sludge into pathogen-free compost that could be used in camp gardens, converting a disease risk into a productive resource. The deployment produced operational best-practice guidelines later shared with the global refugee sanitation community. It represented part of the broader Gates Foundation conviction that refugee populations could benefit from the same sanitation innovation as urban slums.

Gates-backed World Mosquito Program reaches 16 million people protected from dengue via Wolbachia method
The World Mosquito Program — backed in part by the Gates Foundation — announced in January 2026 that its Wolbachia-infected mosquito releases had reached over 16.1 million people across multiple countries, including Colombia, Indonesia, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Vanuatu, and Vietnam. Wolbachia-carrying Aedes aegypti mosquitoes — which block dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever transmission — had established self-sustaining populations in treated cities without requiring ongoing releases. Gold-standard randomised trials in Indonesia showed a 77% reduction in dengue incidence. The program represented one of the largest and most cost-effective vector control deployments in history.
