Waterpreneurs: Vision, Mission, Activities and Services

A/ Based on practices of shared value creation, collaborative economy and social entrepreneurship, Waterpreneurs connects local entrepreneurs that have sustainable solutions for access to safe water (and sanitation) with impact investors, who can finance the scaling-up of their activities.

B/ Our activities and services are systemic and create local peer-to-peer due diligence mechanisms for global impact. Waterpreneurs foster interactions between global players from the private sector, the public sector and from civil society to direct finance toward impact projects in the communities.

C/ Our ecosystem comprises mainly: impact investors, social entrepreneurs, NGO’s, corporate value chains (with a primary focus on: agri/food, extractives et water operators), development agencies, United Nations, audit/consulting and insurances companies, experts in human rights and water.
