We at LOOM Impact are excited to be a founding member of the Off-Grid Water Alliance! What is the OWA and why are we part of it?
Based on our experience in the offgrid power sector through our collaboration with Africa GreenTec, we have seen the importance of developing rural infrastructure in Africa in particular and the enormous leverage that access to electricity and water has in terms of quality of life in local villages.
What is usually overlooked is the importance of the connection between the provision of electricity and water and the synergies that these decentralized infrastructure projects have. This is where the Off-Grid Water Alliance comes in: they connect not only regional, but also technical & financial players in the field. And in the latter environment, access to the capital market for such projects, we at LOOM Impact get involved & hope we can make a good contribution to the OWA.
By the way, our colleague Clara Wilkens is the contact person in this context - so if you have any suggestions or questions, please feel free to contact her. We wish you a nice & relaxing weekend in advance...
