Organisation

We are WaterStarters

WaterStarters was founded by Amref Health Africa, a leading African health NGO, and MegaGroup, a Dutch water solutions company. By combining expertise in public health, community engagement, and water solutions, they created a model that unites different worlds to build future-proof water enterprises with lasting impact. Although MegaGroup has since stepped away from the partnership, the foundation laid during those early years continues to guide WaterStarters today. Together with Amref's network of private-sector partners and local communities, we are enabling a transition from aid to trade by encouraging communities to co-invest in water solutions and generate sustainable growth.

The largest non-governmental health organization in Africa, working towards better health by collaborating with, and empowering communities. Committed to achieve lasting health change in Africa using an entrepreneurial approach.
