IRIBA Water Group

We're on a mission to make clean water normal.

IRIBA means "a natural source of fresh, clean water" in Kinyarwanda. We started in 2017 with one stubborn belief: safe water should not depend on your income or your postcode. One ATM became ten. Ten became hundreds. Today we're building a national network, run by young Rwandans, that makes safe water an everyday thing.

What we stand for

Safety we can prove.

HACCP certified, monitored in real time, no shortcuts.

Young people in the lead.

Our model creates jobs as it creates access.

Less plastic, more refills.

Better for people and the planet.

Water for everyone.

Wherever people are, safe water should be too.
