Social Impact
Providing clean and safe drinking water to everyone is a major challenge in a world with a huge water shortage and a fast growing world population and industrialization.
Establishing profitable water companies in an arrangement of a Cluster Operation has several contributions to local economies and communities:
Direct:
- Providing safe and clean drinking water for at least 150,000 people
- Safe drinking water for the Bottom of the Pyramid (for an affordable price)
- Creating local jobs, some 250 for a full profitable Cluster Operation
- Jobs for marginalized people, like children from orphanages
- Training local employees in general business management, engineering, marketing and sales
- Donating drinking water to socially relevant organizations, like children hospitals, organisations for physical disabled people, and so on
- Usage of flush water for (drip)irrigation for (urban)agriculture, fish farming, etc.
Indirect:
- Setting up new community based businesses, like waste plastic collection for PET recycling, waste paper collection, tire recycling and so on.
- Improving communities with several community projects:
- Establishing sanitation facilities (toilets, showers, washing bowls)
- Performing training hygiene for school children and parents
- Expansion of MPI Academy to local vocational schools
- Stimulating entrepreneurship
