ABOUT US

Our Symbol

The WANDE logo, featuring the African baobab tree, represents resilience and life-sustaining properties, reflecting our dedication to nurturing growth and environmental stewardship. It is a visual embodiment of our mission to protect life, conserve water and build community.

Our Mission

WANDE's mission is encapsulated in our commitment to protect Life, conserve water and build community. Guided by our tagline, "Shaping the Future of Water," we recognize that water is life and strive to safeguard this precious resource for all. As a finite resource, we emphasize conservation to ensure sustainable access for future generations. Through our initiatives, we aim to build vibrant communities by fostering dignified labor opportunities and championing entrepreneurship as a cornerstone of development.

Our Strategy

WANDE is committed to providing clean, safe, and sustainable water, particularly in Africa and small island states. We emphasise technology transfer, localization, and fostering self-reliance in the regions we operate. Our approach is tailored to meet the unique challenges of each community, empowering them towards sustainable water management.  

Our Values

WANDE is driven by a commitment to excellence and environmental stewardship, we focus on conservation, efficient usage, and innovation, empowering communities with the knowledge for responsible water management.

Our values are:

• Development: We are committed to enhancing the water-energy nexus through deep capability development. Our projects are designed not only to deliver access to water, but to unlock dignity, employment, and long-term environmental balance. Development, to us, is measured by what we leave behind for the next generation.
• Ambition: We are boldly committed to shaping the future of water in Africa and beyond. Our ambition is driven not by urgency, but by vision—rooted in purpose and shaped by care. We pursue meaningful impact, not empty scale.
• Responsibility: We uphold the highest standards of ethics, stewardship, and accountability in every decision. We take ownership of outcomes—technical, social, and environmental. Our responsibility includes how we show up, not just what we deliver.
• Innovation: We embrace technology as a bridge to empowerment. Our solutions are modern, sustainable, and always adapted to local needs. Innovation, for us, is about relevance, simplicity, and resilience.
• Unity: We build partnerships rooted in alignment, respect, and shared purpose. From rural communities to global partners, we foster collaboration that honors cultural identity and promotes dignity through service.
• Success: We define success by the impact we create—clean water, vibrant communities, and lasting transformation. Our legacy is measured not just in infrastructure, but in lives touched, ecosystems protected, and futures secured.
