My colleagues and I send you our warmest regards and wish you wonderful holidays and good health in 2022. In the past year, we supported over 80 entrepreneurs through our Making Water Count programme, who in turn made access to water and sanitation services possible for millions of people worldwide, together with the entrepreneurs we already supported.
We are proud to partner with Sidian Bank, National Bank of Kenya, the Stone Family Foundation, Chamroeun Microfinance, Oikocredit, Roots of Impact, cewas, Forthinvestment, FINISH Mondial (Waste and Amref), Partners for Growth, Incofin, Water.org and many more to achieve this! Many thanks for the fantastic collaboration and your trust this year. In 2022, we aim to increase our impact and we invite you to join us in achieving this goal!
