Some of our results to date...
Our approach to ending water poverty
Enterprise, not aid.
Economic problems require economic solutions. Where skills are needed, there must be an incentive. Through our Beyond Water social enterprise approach we can improve rural livelihoods and access to safe water.






Handups, not handouts.
Our research showed that people wanted to invest in their own handpumps, and have the means to do so.
independence, not reliance.
Our programmes are designed with sustainability and gender equality at their core, with lasting, locally led solutions to water poverty.
