About SaniTap.

To us, being an impact business means we exclusively engage in business activities that deliver tangible social and/or environmental impact — yet also deliver healthy financial returns. The latter is important not to maximise shareholder revenue, but because only profitable ventures are scalable or replicable — and that's what will further multiply our impact. In this way, value is maximised across all stakeholders. Other descriptions are helpful — "Triple-Bottom-Line business" (Social, Environmental, Financial), "Triple-P business" (Profit, People, Planet) — they all convey similar ideas and the intended trajectory of an enterprise.

As an impact business, we apply commercial approaches — innovation, research and development, and scalable financing mechanisms — to address challenges traditionally left to governments or charities. Our objective is to deliver measurable social and environmental outcomes while creating sustainable models that can scale to reach millions of people. From this follows that we carefully measure and report on the social and environmental performance of our activities, to ensure transparency and accountability and to provide the data and insights to continually improve the way we operate.

The organisation's co-founders are dedicated impact venture entrepreneurs with decades of experience in renewable energy, drinking water, humanitarian work, and business consulting. They bring deep operational expertise, having built and scaled multiple impact ventures across Africa in clean cooking, sustainable biomass fuel, solar energy, and drinking water — work that has positively impacted millions of people.
