mWater

mWater is a woman-owned small business with a non-profit arm for projects with international organizations and foundations, and a for-profit arm for US Government and private sector clients. Our staff includes senior experts with advanced degrees in environmental engineering, public health, and technology, allowing mWater to create innovative, data-driven management approaches for our partners and all users of the free mWater technology platform.

mWater began in 2012 with an investment from USAID Development Innovation Ventures to use mobile technology to improve water quality monitoring in Tanzania. The organization expanded rapidly to provide general data collection, analysis, and visualization capabilities, becoming one of the most widely used data platforms in the WASH sector with over 200,000 accounts in 197 countries. mWater pioneered an innovative free and open access business model that enables data-driven management by governments, utilities, water authorities, and private sector organizations in low-resource areas by providing a scalable technology platform that can be sustained after project support ends. The mWater model of creating a shared sector resource has attracted a wide range of partners from across the WASH sector.
