Access to clean and reliable water is the fundamental driving force behind economic growth in rural areas and urban economic growth, serving as the foundation for a multitude of development opportunities that can revolutionize societies. We aim to reach 8 million people by building water and smart water infrastructures.
We work directly with local authorities and communities to ensure the funds are in accord with our agreements and to ensure the sustainability of each water system. We are on the ground operating in a direct model with limited intermediaries, which save time and resources.
