Aqua for All is an international foundation committed to providing universal access to safe drinking water and sanitation services that are inclusive, affordable and sustainable. Our mission is to mobilise private capital for entrepreneurs to transform the water and sanitation sector in low- and middle-income countries.
We support local water and sanitation service providers to scale their market-based solutions and to attract private capital. By catalysing private capital for market development and increasing access to finance, we accelerate access to climate-resilient water and sanitation services, especially in Africa and Asia.
We believe that market-based solutions, combined with public and private capital are needed to bridge the service and financial gap to achieve SDG 6 – water and sanitation for all.
