Business showcase

Providing capacity building to local businesses is a key part of all our work. We believe they play a vital role in creating sustainable system change. Today we introduce you to Spouts of Water who, from humble roots in a chicken shed, has sustainably grown to become the largest ceramic water filter producer in Africa with the help of investment leveraged through our Take-a-Stake initiative.

Improving livelihoods in India

Meet Sugna, an informal waste worker (IWW) in Udaipur, who plays a vital role in plastic waste management. Today Sugna is a member of a FINILOOP self-help group where IWWs are empowered to share their ideas and given training on how to improve their work opportunities and access financing. Gradually this means many IWWs are able to access more dignified job opportunities and save money.

Nature-based solutions

As populations continue to grow, more and more wastewater is being generated, which too often ends up polluting the environment and causing serious health issues due to inadequate wastewater treatment systems.

Find out how we are responding to this challenge in Ethiopia by working with local communities to implement nature-based solution in wastewater treatment.
