mobile data for water and health
Contact: Dr.Annie Feighery, CEO | annie@mwater.co | @anniefeighery
mWater is a social good startup that uses mobile
platforms to help eradicate waterborne disease in
poor areas of the planet.
We work where more people have access to a mobile
phone than a safe water source, so we’re building a
data infrastructure for safe water based on mobile
phones. We like to explain it asYelp for water.
We’re seeking funding to expand our reach to more
users worldwide. We’re building a social network for
safe water. Please invest in our dream.
Problem: the safe water crisis
1.8 billion people drink contaminated water
Waterborne disease is the 2nd leading cause of death for children worldwide
The children who survive to age 5 are often malnourished from repeated
bouts of diarrhea, causing mental and physical stunting for life
mWater helps people get safe water

USAID funds mWater to map and
monitor local water sources.
