DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
Congo Water Solution (CWS) is a social enterprise with the aim of increasing access to clean and safe water through affordable and reliable household water filters to underprivileged communities.
Congo Water Solution will provide household filters to ensure underserved communities have access to clean and safe drinking water. CWS will commission 25 agents from the existing Village development groups, calling themselves AVEC, to distribute household filters on a Pay as You Use Model in Minova, DR Congo. Congo Water Solution will also expand distribution to other rural communities, optimizing the PAYU model based on customer feedback.
Congo Water Solution (CWS) was founded by Aristote Bashokwire Masimango, a dedicated WASH specialist with a strong commitment to tackling community issues. He serves as the CEO, leading the planning and implementation of the project.
