Involve your staff and customers

Because Akvo ties your donations to real projects, everyone feels more involved. Akvo “widgets” let you - and your customers and staff - follow project progress in real time via your website, intranet and on display screens in your offices and outlets. Inspire your customers by linking products and services to real-life projects with Quick Response tags on product packaging, letting them view project updates and videos on their smartphone.

Start with water and sanitation, extend into education and health

Akvo’s unique partner network provides a choice from millions of dollars of development projects across the poorest parts of the world, overseen and monitored to the highest standards by our support partners. Most focus on providing clean water and proper sanitation – the first steps in helping people lift themselves out of poverty.
