These Social Entrepreneurs are Taking on Water Scarcity

For Joshua Kao, any downpour of rain is a missed opportunity. Why should 700 million people worldwide be experiencing water scarcity when perfectly potable water falls from the sky? How could he make a difference? Like most innovations, LivingWaters Systems started with these simple observations from Kao. Now, with a prototype in hand, the LivingWaters team is scaling up, both in terms of people power and financial resources. The promise of their innovation providing relief for water scarcity in refugee camps and informal settlements around the world keeps them moving ever forward.
