March 16, 2025 • Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes

Key Figures & Findings: Danish company 4Life Solutions will invest $4 million in Africa by 2025, expanding its solar-powered water purification initiatives. This investment builds on its previous $3.2 million investment since 2022, which focused on safe water access programs in Kenya and other parts of the continent. At an event hosted by the Danish Ambassador in Nairobi, Chairperson Annemette Faerch emphasized that access to clean water is not just about health but also about economic empowerment, education, and gender equality.

Statistics & Insights: Over 2 billion people globally lack access to safe drinking water, with 41% of Kenyans still affected. Across Africa, 25% of households rely on boiling water, which contributes to deforestation and indoor air pollution. 4Life Solutions has already provided clean drinking water to 390,000 households through community-based partnerships and peer-to-peer sales models.

Future Implications: If successful, the company could scale its impact across Africa by securing additional funding of up to $10 million, further increasing clean water access. Its collaboration with governments, NGOs, and private investors may lead to long-term sustainable solutions, improving public health and economic development across the continent.
