Raising Investment for WASH Businesses with Beth Koigi, Mona Mijthab and Landry Parkouda

Private and institutional investors are typically looking to make investments above what an average WASH entrepreneur can absorb. Yet there are few investable WASH businesses anyway. The majority are informal, have irregular revenues and do not make much money.
When entrepreneurs do meet investors, they need to learn the language of investment.

On this episode, Andy Narracott talks to Beth Koigi, Co-Founder of Majik Water, to understand the entrepreneur's perspective on challenges raising investment. Then he speaks to Mona Mijthab, Founder of Mosan in Guatemala and Landry Parkouda, Co-founder at Forth Investment in Burkina Faso, to hear their reflections on these challenges.

Finally, Reto Wey, Co-founder of Toilets4All Foundation, shares his takeaways from the discussion.

This podcast is brought to you by the Sanitation and Water Entrepreneurship Pact, a collaboration of organisations that helps entrepreneurs deliver basic access to water and sanitation services for all.
