Splash’s mission

More than 90% of deaths from waterborne illnesses occur in children in urban areas with limited access to clean water and quality sanitation. Splash brings innovative, scalable WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) solutions and education to children in under-resourced urban environments. Today, Splash’s solutions serve more than 700,000 children across eight countries in Asia and Africa.

“I think women have an interesting perspective to bring to the design of our work and it’s important to have more of those voices in the day-to-day work and in the design process.”

— Nardos Nigusse, Infrastructure Officer, Splash
