Why Bhumijo
For the over five million people who commute daily on the roads of Dhaka, there are less than 100 usable public toilets. The detrimental effects are mostly borne by low-income populations and women.
What We Do
Bhumijo provides hygienic, inclusive, and affordable smart toilets in low-income areas, with extra services such as showers, clean drinking water, laundry, refreshments, and advertisement space either building new toilets or renovating and managing existing facilities. These services are available through a subscription or pay-per-use model.
Our Story
We started our journey in 2017 by creating the country’s first ever women only toilet at Gausia Market, Dhaka.
Currently Bhumijo operates 43 centres in Bangladesh which serve 10,000 people daily (including 15% female users). Bhumijo has a dedicated team of over 80 trained members and technology enabled operation.
Our Vision
Access to clean toilets is a basic human right. People, especially women, should not be worried about using public toilets when they are out. Public toilets should be clean and usable whenever needed. The job of cleaning public toilets should be regarded as dignified and valued. By 2025, our goal is to expand to 100 facilities, catering to the needs of 30,000 people daily. Looking ahead, we are aiming for 1000 facilities and serving 300,000 people per day by 2030.
Our Team
Bhumijo’s trained and dedicated team drives our mission. In addition to our head office team, we have over 65 skilled and trained members to ensure clean and hygienic service. Most of the services are provided by female (60% of staffs) caretakes to ensure safety and comfort of the female users. Their hard work and commitment are integral to our success and drive our mission forward.
