About
We help transform cities to benefit the millions who lack access to water and sanitation

We improve services by working side-by-side with local providers
In cities, strengthening the organisations that have been tasked to deliver city-wide services is crucial.
We are a trusted partner to utilities, municipalities and the private sector, supporting them to develop services, build infrastructure and attract funding that will help them reach low-income communities.

Our focus on financial viability creates more resilient communities
Creating services which are financially viable is extremely difficult, but vital if the benefits are to exist over the long term.
We work with utilities and businesses to develop services which generate revenue whilst reaching the most vulnerable urban residents, and we advise regulators and governments on how to create an environment which enables businesses to succeed.

Our innovations are creating global change
We’re the only urban specialist in our sector and our experience shapes the work of others.
We have an impact far beyond the countries where we have a permanent presence, and are committed to sharing evidence and approaches, towards the achievement of the SDGs.
