Human Resources Manager at Impact Water

Impact Water provides safe drinking water solutions to students throughout Africa by delivering reliable, proven water purification technologies at an affordable cost to schools. Before Impact Water launched in Uganda, boiling was often the only tool schools had to make drinking water safe for their students. Schools struggled with the cost of firewood as well as the hours lost to the chore of boiling water. Affordable water purification strategies were largely absent in the market, which inspired Impact Water to innovate a new approach. We installed our first water purification system in Uganda in 2013. We now aim to make universal coverage of safe drinking water systems a reality in schools across Africa.
