Water4

Our safe water businesses help rural Africans who want to have the convenience and health of safe, reliable, water by linking their needs to the incentives of the marketplace. (Unlike traditional charities).

The workshop is an opportunity for individuals to express their thoughts, feelings, and gifts of writing. It is also a chance for individuals to think critically, gain knowledge and information, and grow within themselves.

We need resources to scale to prove that charity can be used to end the need for charity by making a global need an emerging market for businesses. We need capital, influence, and expertise to join us as we make the world’s largest problem an opportunity for countless many.

Water4 starts, equips, and scales water businesses in Africa to do the work of market creation in areas usually considered too poor to change. Businesses that drill, install and then maintain water sources from customer revenue are incentivized to provide quality, sustainability and ensure solutions meet customer desires, desires that lead to greater opportunities and economic growth for families. Water4 acts to de-risk the failure of water projects for donors through accountability with businesses and de-risks the failure of the businesses by backing their ventures work of rural market innovation.

Our businesses survive on high volume, low margin water sales in rural African markets. This means we need enough revenue to capture large market segments that pay $.03 a day for their water, with 100,000 clients generating $1M a year that way. To do so, we provide access to entire counties, at a cost of $5M in infrastructure, and begin rolling profits forward for infrastructure expansion from year 7 and beyond.
