While governments have the responsibility to provide safe water to their citizens, when there is intermittent supply the responsibility of safe water falls on households, who must treat or buy it. Social enterprises can distribute safe water and household water filters to the lower income groups, often referred to as the base of the pyramid (BoP) and development finance can be used to subsidise their business. CEO of the Cambodian social enterprise Hydrologic, Rachel Pringle, and Managing Director of the Netherlands-based non-profit Aqua for All, Sjef Ernes, talk to host, Andy Narracott, about their lessons learned in developing viable BoP business models in the Safe Water Phase 2 initiative (2015-2018).
