Every year, World Water Day presents an opportunity to raise awareness of what is working, and what more is needed, to provide global access to safe water.
Last week, Devex moderated a conversation with Gary White, CEO of Water.org, and Michele Sullivan, president of the Caterpillar Foundation, which has provided funding to Water.org’s WaterCredit program, at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.
Here, White talks to Devex about how “social impact investing” could be the solution to bringing sustainable water access to millions. His comments have been edited for length and clarity.
