Innovative design - delivering clean water to a thirsty world - Cynthia Koenig, Founder, Wello
Imagine carrying 10 litres (2.64 gallons) of water for several kilometres. Now, put that water pot on your head and walk the same distance- multiple times per day. This is the drudgery that many women and girls endure in the Global South- harming not only their health, but also excluding them from getting a formal education.
This is where social entrepreneur Cynthia Koenig, Founder of Wello, an award winning social venture that co-creates disruptive innovations designed to provide better, more reliable access to safe water stepped in.
Armed with a BA in Anthropology from Trinity College and MBA/MS degrees from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business and School of Natural Resources and Environment, Cynthia shares her expertise at the intersection of business, innovation and impact and her journey to to create an affordable and locally made water drum that can be rolled - and get this… by women AND men!
