Jibu

Venture Round in 2019
Jibu focuses on addressing the water crisis in East Africa by enabling local entrepreneurs to establish businesses that treat and package safe drinking water in reusable bottles. With 450 million East Africans lacking reliable access to clean water, Jibu operates in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda, with plans for future expansion. The company provides seed financing and essential resources to empower entrepreneurs to create affordable drinking water franchises, offering water at a price 75% lower than bottled options. This model not only delivers convenience through door-side delivery but also fosters financial independence and self-sustaining business practices within the community. By leveraging local ownership, Jibu aims to ensure that basic human necessities, starting with water, are accessible to all.
