Social Impact Project for Sales Strategy & Coaching for CSR/NGO Partnerships

How This Works

As part of the TRANSFORM Support Hub, you will learn how to advance your career while getting hands on experience on projects like this one.

Project Description and Impact

Openversum is a social enterprise providing affordable, high-performance water filters through a microfranchising model. Our solution is paired with digital tools that allow local entrepreneurs—mostly women—to sell, track, and service water filters in underserved communities. After years of R&D, our filter and apps are now ready, and we’ve begun operations in Colombia with early traction.

We’re entering a critical phase: transitioning from pilot to growth. We need support to strategically position our solution, prioritize limited resources, and communicate our go-to-market strategy and financial roadmap in a way that resonates with funders, partners, and NGOs. With a small team and short runway, we can’t afford trial and error. We’re looking for focused guidance to help us scale smart, stay impact-driven, and become investment-ready.

Learning Opportunity

By working with us, the experteer will gain hands-on experience in WASH innovation, behavior change strategies, and building real-world impact models in underserved communities. You’ll see firsthand how technology, community engagement, and microentrepreneurship can come together to solve one of the world’s most urgent challenges: access to safe drinking water. You’ll also work closely with a passionate, impact-driven team navigating the realities of early-stage growth—learning as much about purpose as about execution.
