A Kenyan social entrepreneur, Beth Koigi, is on a mission to solve one of humanity’s most pressing challenges—access to clean water. Born and raised in Kenya, she has firsthand experience of the devastating impact of water scarcity.

This personal struggle fueled her passion for innovation, leading her to co-found Majik Water, a company that harvests clean drinking water from the air.

Through her groundbreaking work, Beth is not just addressing a problem; she is creating a future where safe water is accessible to all.

Beth’s journey into water innovation began in university when she faced severe water shortages. Frustrated by the constant lack of clean water, she started developing affordable water filtration systems.

But as she learned more about the crisis, she realized filtration alone wasn’t enough—many communities simply didn’t have access to any water at all.

This realization led her to explore alternative solutions, and in 2017, she co-founded Majik Water alongside her partners.

Majik Water uses advanced atmospheric water generation technology to extract moisture from the air and convert it into clean drinking water.

This solution is particularly effective in arid and semi-arid regions where conventional water sources are unreliable. By leveraging renewable energy and sustainable technology, Majik Water provides a cost-effective and scalable solution to water scarcity, directly benefiting communities, schools, and businesses in Kenya and beyond.

Beth’s innovation has earned her global recognition. She has been featured in Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Africa list and has won numerous awards for her contributions to social entrepreneurship.

Majik Water has also received funding and support from organizations like the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Royal Academy of Engineering Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation.

Beyond her business, Beth is a strong advocate for sustainable solutions in Africa. She actively speaks on the importance of innovation in solving social problems and mentors young entrepreneurs looking to make an impact in their communities.

Beth Koigi is not just an entrepreneur; she is a changemaker. Her journey from a university student struggling with water shortages to a globally recognized innovator is proof that necessity truly is the mother of invention.

With Majik Water, she is demonstrating that African entrepreneurs can lead the charge in solving some of the world’s biggest challenges. And as she continues to expand her impact, one thing is clear—her work is just getting started.
